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) are emerging as crucial players in cell communication and hold great promise as biomarkers and therapeutic tools. However, their diversity makes it challenging to detect, classify, and utilize them effectively, which limits their clinical applicability. A key challenge is the lack of reliable markers to identify EVs consistently. In this study, a novel high-affinity phosphatidylserine (PS)-binding reagent is introduced for EV analysis. PS is known as a marker of apoptotic cells and activated platelets, but its presence on EVs is debated due to variations in lipid composition. By comparing multiple PS-binding reagents, including MFG-E8 derivatives and Annexin V, it is demonstrated that ≈90% of EVs in human and mouse blood carry PS. Using the optimized reagent, the first in vivo insights into EV turnover are provided, showing that PS+ EVs in mouse blood are rapidly cleared (≈50% within 30 min) but persist on immune cells in the spleen. This discovery increases the potential of EVs as disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets by improving EV detection and isolation as well as opening the door for standardized quantification and diagnostic monitoring.
