Calibration of Flow Cytometers Enables Reproducible Measurements of Extracellular Vesicle Concentrations and Reference Range Establishment.
Article in Journal of extracellular vesicles, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The concentration of cells is a key component of modern blood tests. Given the biomarker potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in blood, we aimed to establish reference ranges for blood cell-derived EVs using flow cytometry. To address the orders-of-magnitude variability in reported EV concentrations between different flow cytometers (FCMs), we first validated a calibration methodology to enable reproducible EV concentration measurements. The methodology was evaluated in an interlaboratory comparison study and shows that calibration reduces the median absolute deviation of EV concentrations measured on 25 different FCMs from 67 % to 25 %-31 %. The calibration methodology was then used to determine reference ranges of erythrocyte-, leukocyte-, and platelet-derived EVs in human blood plasma in a cohort of healthy individuals (n = 224). This study demonstrates that calibration enables comparable concentration measurements of blood cell-derived EVs, thereby bringing EVs one step closer to clinical applications.
