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

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) and cells of the tumour microenvironment (TME) secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the plasma that contain genetic and protein cargo, which function in paracrine signaling. Isolation of these EVs and their cargo from plasma could lead to a simplistic tool that can inform on diagnosis and disease course of GBM. Methods: In the present study, plasma EVs were captured utilizing a peptide affinity method (Vn96 peptide) from GBM patients and normal controls followed by next generation sequencing to define a small RNA (sRNA) signature unique to GBM. Results: Over 750 differentially expressed sRNA (miRNA, snoRNA, lncRNA, tRNA, mRNA fragments and non-annotated regions) were identified between GBM and controls. MiEAA 2.0 pathway analysis of the miRNA in the sRNA signature revealed miRNA highly enriched in both EV and GBM pathways demonstrating the validity of results in capturing a signal from the TME. Also revealed were several novel GBM plasma EV sRNA biomarkers including lncRNA RPPH1 (Ribonuclease P Component H1), RNY4 (Ro60-Associated Y4) and RNY5 (Ro60-Associated Y5). Furthermore, in paired longitudinal patient plasma sampling, RPPH1 informed on surgical resection (decreased on resection) and importantly, RPPH1 increased again on clinically defined progression. Conclusions: The present provides preliminary data that support the continued investigation of plasma EV sRNA sampling (and particularly RPPH1) as part of a multi-pronged approach to GBM diagnosis and disease course surveillance.
