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

Exosomes offer a promising vehicle for noninvasive diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases by carrying multiple biomarkers across the blood-brain barrier. However, traditional exosome analysis often misses subtle genotype-specific variations because of weak signals from a few exosomes, reliance on markers, and limited understanding of disease signatures. Here, we present a sound way to understand Alzheimer's disease through label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) profiling of cortical organoid-derived exosomes. Initially, we enhanced exosomal SERS signal levels by optimizing ultrasound parameters to increase exosome secretion from cortical organoids. Using this strategy, we distinguished apolipoprotein E genotype-dependent differences in intact exosomal fingerprints. Transcriptome analysis confirmed that ultrasound stimulation increased exosome secretion and up-regulated exosome-related genes functionally linked to Alzheimer's pathology. Ultrasound-based stimulation and label-free exosome profiling reveal genotype-specific pathologies, providing a precision-diagnostic framework for Alzheimer's disease.
