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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be isolated and purified from cell cultures and biofluids using different methodologies. Here, we explored a novel EV isolation approach by combining superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in a dialysis membrane with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to achieve high concentration and purity of EVs without the use of ultracentrifugation (UC). Suspension HEK293 cells transfected with CD63 coupled with Thermo Luciferase were used to quantify the EV yield and purity. The 500 mL conditioned medium volume was initially reduced by pressure ultrafiltration, followed by UC, SAP or a centrifugal filter unit (CFU). Using either of these methods, the EVs were concentrated to a final volume of approximately 1 mL, with retained functionality. The yield, quantified by luciferase activity, was highest with UC (70%-80%), followed by SAP (60%-70%) and CFU (50%-60%). Further purification of the EVs was performed by iodixanol density cushion (IDC) or SEC (Sepharose CL-2B or 6B, in either 10 or 20 mL columns). Although the IDC and Sepharose CL-2B (10 mL) achieved the highest yields, the purity was slightly higher (30%) with IDC. In conclusion, combining SAP concentration with CL-2B SEC is an alternative and efficient way to isolate EVs without using UC.
