The proteome of circulating extracellular vesicles and their functional effect on platelets vary with the isolation method.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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) play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and serve as a source of biomarkers in several pathologies. In this study, we aimed to characterize plasma-derived EVs isolated by ultracentrifugation (UC) or size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to define the best method for proteomic and functional studies. EVs characterization included nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), detection of biomarkers by western blotting, and quantitative proteomic analysis. SEC-EVs samples had higher particle and protein concentration, particle-to-protein ratio, and smaller size compared to UC-EVs. A total of 171 proteins were identified through Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS) analysis, with 11 increased in SEC-EVs and 5 in UC-EVs. The proteins increased in UC-EVs are complement proteins and immunoglobulins, while proteins increased in SEC-EVs are apolipoproteins and proteins present in the extracellular space. Functional studies with EVs from activated platelets confirmed that EVs isolated by SEC exacerbate platelet aggregation, whereas there was no effect induced by UC-EVs. The latter suggests that EVs obtained by SEC seem more suitable for platelet-related functional studies compared to those obtained by UC. The results presented pave the way for future clinical orientated studies involving plasma-derived EVs.
