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

The early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a significant clinical challenge. To this end, we profiled the surface proteome of individual plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) from AMI patients using single-vesicle sequencing, aiming to identify disease-associated alterations with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Profiling the EV surface proteome across healthy controls (HC), coronary artery stenosis (CAS), and AMI revealed 21 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), 11 of which were uniquely associated with AMI compared to HC. Notably, these included elevated levels of DSCAML1, CR1, ACE2, FN1, CDH15, and C5b‑9. EVs were subsequently stratified into 17 subpopulations, with clusters 1, 8, and 9 characterized by DSCAML1, ALCAM, and CR1, respectively, and showing the highest enrichment in AMI. We further demonstrated that plasma EVs from AMI patients (AMI-EVs) promote cardiomyocyte proliferation and endothelial cell activity in vitro, followed by the finding that the DSCAML1-enriched subpopulation (DSCAML1-EVs) enhances myocardial repair and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, with mechanistic studies implicating the EREG/ERK pathway in these effects. In summary, DSCAML1-positive EVs show dual potential as both a diagnostic biomarker for AMI and a therapeutic target for improving post‑infarction prognosis, providing insight into the translational potential of EV‑based strategies in precision cardiology.
