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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) had been described as a next-generation drug delivery system, due to the compelling evidence that they can facilitate the transfer of a variety of biomolecules between cells. The most frequently used strategy for loading protein cargoes is the endogenous engineering of EVs through genetic fusion of the protein of interest (POI) and scaffold proteins with high EV-sorting ability. However, the lack of scaffold proteins had become a major issue hindering the promotion of this technology. Herein, we proposed novel screening criteria that relax the inclusion requirement of candidate scaffold proteins and eventually identified a new scaffold protein, PLXNA1. The truncated PLXNA1 not only inherits the high EV-sorting ability of its full-length counterpart but also allows the fusion expression of POI in both outer surface and luminal areas, individually or simultaneously. In conclusion, our screening criteria expanded the range of potential scaffold proteins. The identified scaffold protein PLXNA1 showed great potential in developing therapeutic EVs.
