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.

Abstract

backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the lack of non-invasive early detection tools, which significantly impacts patient prognosis. Given that glycosylation alterations especially high sialylation and fucosylation, frequently occur during cellular malignant transformation, but their roles are not elucidated. We examined alterations in disease-specific glycosylated extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs in the serum of ESCC patients, evaluating their utility as diagnostic biomarkers.

methodsA total of 371 ESCC and 303 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited in this multi-stage, multicentre case-control study. Fucosylated (Fuc-) and sialylated (Sia-) EVs were isolated utilizing Lentil lectin (LCA) and wheat germ lectin (WGA)-coated magnetic beads, respectively. The glycosylated EVs-derived miRNAs-based signature (Riskscore

resultsThe Riskscore

conclusionsOur study illustrates the effectiveness of glycosylated EVs capture strategy for isolating tumour-specific EVs. The unique glycosylated EVs-derived miRNAs-based signature shows the optimal potential as a biomarker for early detection of ESCC.
