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 vesicle (EV) microRNAs (miRNAs) are critical liquid-biopsy biomarkers that facilitate noninvasive clinical diagnosis and disease monitoring. However, conventional methods for detecting these miRNAs require EV lysis, which is expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Inspired by natural viral infection mechanisms, a novel strategy is developed for detecting EV miRNAs in situ via vesicle fusion mediated by viral fusion proteins. A padlock probe encapsulated within fusogenic liposomes is activated by target miRNAs, thereby initiating a highly sensitive and specific rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction. Three EV miRNAs associated with atherosclerosis are successfully analyzed using this method, thereby enabling clear differentiation of healthy and diseased mice at several disease stages. Overall, the developed platform offers a simple approach for detecting EV miRNAs and demonstrates significant potential for broad use in applications involving disease diagnosis and monitoring.
