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 subcellular particles surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane and incorporating various additional biomolecules derived from their donor cell. In many disease contexts circulating EVs have received increasing scientific attention due to their potential diagnostic and prognostic value. Additionally, EVs have been ascribed multiple biological functions, ranging from cellular waste disposal to sophisticated, intercellular communication. Consequently, EVs involved in pathological processes may represent therapeutic targets, whereas EV-based therapeutics are being developed for targeted delivery of molecular cargoes in vivo. Detailed knowledge of the molecular content of natural EVs derived from diverse cellular origins is crucial to identify biomarkers, dissect EV functions, and optimize EV engineering for therapeutic purposes. Although the lipid composition of biological membranes has a significant impact on their biophysical and -chemical properties and may affect signaling and interactions at the molecular and cellular level, relatively little is known about the lipid composition of EV membranes. Here, we applied high resolution mass spectrometry to deeply and quantitatively characterize the lipidome of EVs isolated from a panel of malignant and non-malignant cell lines, providing a comprehensive data resource for biomarker research and EV engineering efforts. Furthermore, subset comparisons indicate striking differences between lipid profiles of EVs isolated from cells of different tissue origin, suggesting distinct membrane characteristics that could affect EV biodistribution and function in vivo.
