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

Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed from tumor cells into peripheral circulation or other body fluids are promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis with enormously long circulation. Consequently, precise methods for differentiating normal and tumor-associated EVs (TAEs) are required. Methods: This study used quantifiable antibody-DNA conjugate-assisted quantitative methods combined with proximity ligation technology to detect TAEs. The antibody-DNA conjugate contained one antibody associated with three oligonucleotides for signal amplification. The antibody in the conjugate can recognize the surface tumor antigens of TAEs. Simultaneously, DNA in the conjugate is attached to the surfaces of TAEs and holds the signal amplification post, converting protein identities to DNA amplification for protein detection, even at the molecular level. Results: These findings revealed that TAEs can be quantitatively detected using DNA-mediated quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Antibody-DNA conjugates were used to recognize the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antigen on the TAE surface and quantify the antigen using qPCR for cancer analysis. Discussion: This method proposed a new quantitative detection approach for TAEs, which aim to identify specific EV-associated markers for diagnostic or therapeutic, this method could inspire a new idea for tumor diagnosis and detection of other diseases.
