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) may contain a variety of molecular cargo, including proteins and nucleic acids. Vault particle components have been repeatedly reported in the literature as EV cargo. Here, we demonstrated that vault RNA (vtRNA) and major vault protein (MVP) were highly abundant in EV pellets enriched by differential centrifugation (DC) by qPCR and western blotting, respectively. RNase and proteinase treatment of DC-derived pellets demonstrated that most vtRNA and MVP were not enclosed and protected within an EV membrane. Vault-like particles were visualised in 100k DC pellets by cryo-transmission electron microscopy. EVs were enriched by size exclusion chromatography, and western blotting of individual fractions showed co-elution of EV markers and vault particle proteins. Immunocapture of EVs post-ultracentrifugation (100k DC pellet) showed co-purification of MVP, whereas EVs isolated by direct immunocapture from conditioned medium were MVP-negative. The current study highlights the importance of determining the topology of putative EV-associated components to determine if they are EV cargo or contaminants that have been co-purified.
