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

purposeRecent data suggest an impact of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their micro(mi)RNA cargo on cell-cell interactions to contribute to pathophysiology of leukaemia and radiation response. Here, we investigated differential miRNA cargo of EVs from serum derived from patients with leukaemia (n = 11) before and after total body irradiation with 2 × 2 Gy as compared to healthy donors (n = 6).

methodsRNA was isolated from EVs and subjected to next generation sequencing of miRNAs. Analysis of sequencing data was performed with miRDeep29 software and differentially expressed miRNAs were filtered using R package edgeR10,11. Signaling pathways were identified using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (KEGG) pathway analysis.

resultsFlow cytometric and Western blot analyses confirmed the presence of characteristic EV markers TSG-101, CD‑9 and CD-81. miRNA sequencing revealed a differential cargo in serum of patients with leukaemia in comparison to healthy donors with 23 significantly upregulated and 16 downregulated miRNAs affecting hedgehog, estrogen, glutathione metabolism and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways amongst others. Whole body irradiation of patients with leukaemia significantly increased 11 miRNAs, involved in cell cycle regulation and platinum drug resistance, and decreased 15 miRNAs, contributing to apoptosis or cytokine-receptor interactions.

conclusionAs compared to healthy controls and following irradiation, we have identified differentially regulated miRNAs in serum-derived EVs from patients with leukaemia that may serve as possible biomarkers of leukaemic disease and treatment and radiation exposure.
