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

We describe a method to characterize extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets. This chapter focuses on two widely used techniques: nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and flow cytometry. NTA is particularly well suited to enumerating smaller particles (<200 nm), while flow cytometry techniques generally detect particles >200 nm. The advantage of flow cytometry detection of EVs is that the multiple fluorescent channels allow detection of markers on the surface EVs, which allows determination of their cell of origin. We present methods to isolate EVs for analysis or purify EVs for use in functional analyses based on differential centrifugation. Sensitivity for detection of EVs by flow cytometry varies widely from machine to machine, even within the same class of instruments. We demonstrate how to determine the sensitivity of small particle detection by flow cytometry and present representative data for quantification of RBC and platelet-derived EVs.
