Refining Flow Cytometry-based Sorting of Plasma-derived Extracellular Vesicles.
Article in Biological procedures online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound particles crucial for intercellular communication and serve as promising biomarkers for diseases, including cancer. Isolating and characterizing specific EV subpopulations, particularly those in plasma/serum, enhances biomarker precision and supports targeted therapies. Cancer-derived EVs often express unique surface markers, enabling distinction from other EVs. Accurate sorting of tumor-associated EVs provides insights into cancer progression, metastasis, and treatment response.
resultsThis study presents a robust method for isolating and sorting CD9 + plasma EVs as a proof-of-concept for broader EV subpopulation analyses. Plasma EVs were isolated via sucrose cushion ultracentrifugation, optimizing purity and yield. Flow cytometry with fluorescence threshold triggering was fine-tuned to detect and sort CD9 + EVs, with instrument calibration and parameter adjustments mitigating swarming and improving sorting accuracy. Size exclusion chromatography further enhanced efficiency by reducing background noise. Sorted CD9 + EVs retained size and marker expression, including Syntenin, Alix, Flotillin-1, and CD9, which were enriched post-sorting.
conclusionsThese advancements enable high-purity EV subpopulation isolation, facilitating applications such as identifying cancer biomarkers and developing EV-based targeted therapies.
