1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) primarily arises in children who are <10 years of age, and originates from developing sympathetic nervous system, which results in tumors in adrenal glands and/or sympathetic ganglia. The diagnosis of NB involves a combination of laboratory and imaging tests, and biopsies. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have gained attention as potential biomarkers for various types of tumors. Here, we performed proteomic analysis of serum sEVs and identified potential biomarkers for NB. Methods: Label-free proteomics of serum sEVs were performed in the discovery phase. A bulk RNA-seq dataset of NB tissues was used to analyze the association between genes encoding sEVs proteins and prognosis. Potential biomarkers were validated via multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) or western blot analysis in the validation phase. A public single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) dataset was integrated to analyze the tissue origin of sEVs harboring biomarkers. Results: A total of 104 differentially expressed proteins were identified in NB patients with label-free proteomics, and 26 potential biomarkers were validated with MRM analysis. Seven proteins BSG, HSP90AB1, SLC44A1, CHGA, ATP6V0A1, ITGAL and SELL showed the strong ability to distinguish NB patients from healthy controls and non-NB patients as well. Integrated analysis of scRNA-seq and sEVs proteomics revealed that these sEVs-derived biomarkers originated from different cell populations in tumor tissues. Conclusion: sEVs-based biomarkers may aid the molecular diagnosis of NB, representing an innovative strategy to improve NB detection and management.
