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

Although the field of plant EVs (PEVs) is experiencing exponential growth, rigorous characterisation complying with MISEV guidelines has not been yet implemented due to the lack of bona fide reference markers. In this work, we have paved the way for the standardisation of PEV markers, providing the most profound proteomic data so far from apoplastic washing fluid-EVs, a sample enriched in genuine extracellular vesicles from plant tissue of two reference plant species: Arabidopsis thaliana (Arath-EVs) and Brassica oleracea (Braol-EVs). Besides, we analysed the protein content of the soluble fraction of the apoplast and calculated the enrichment of the potential markers studied in EVs. Additionally, we have conducted an exhaustive analysis of the proteomic data available so far from genuine EVs from any plant species, evaluating current potential markers, together with those found in our proteomic analyses. Our results provide evidence supporting the potential use of the following families as PEV markers: aquaporins, vacuolar-type ATPase complex subunits, some fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs), tetraspanins, syntaxins, germin-like proteins and calreticulins. Next, we analysed the presence of orthologues and their degree of conservation throughout plant taxa, as well as in 2 reference species from the animal kingdom: human and mouse. Their degree of conservation was compared with that of current animal EVs: CD63, CD81 and CD9. Among the protein families with potential to be used as PEV markers, 2 were found to be plant-specific: FLAs and germin-like proteins. On the other hand, aquaporins and vacuolar-type ATPase complex subunits showed the greatest degree of conservation across plant and animal kingdoms. Our results provide key insights on several aspects of classical and novel protein identity markers for PEVs to assist in the selection of the best candidates for standardisation: (1) species-specific abundance, (2) specificity for PEVs and (3) conservation and plant specificity.
