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 RNAs (exRNAs) in biofluids, sourced from diverse tissues, exhibit various biological functions and diagnostic potential. Small non-coding RNAs, such as rsRNAs and tsRNAs, are abundant in tissues and likely secreted into biofluids, contributing to exRNA profiles. To comprehensively evaluate exRNAs, we employed traditional and enzymatic treatment RNA sequencing to systematically profile exRNAs across six human biofluids including serum, ascites, urine, milk, seminal plasma and saliva as well as sera from mice, rats, rabbits, and bovines. rsRNAs were identified as the most abundant exRNA species in human biofluids, with rsRNAs and tsRNAs showing high expression and species-specific profiles across animals. In serum samples from 51 healthy individuals and 69 cancer patients, exRNA-based machine learning model achieved 94.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity in cancer detection and accurately classified tumor origin. Altogether, this study reveals distinct rsRNA-abundant exRNA landscape across multiple biofluids and support the potential of exRNA signatures in pan-cancer diagnostics.
