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

Glioblastoma (GBM), a primary brain tumor, exhibits intratumoral heterogeneity and dynamic spatial-temporal changes. GBM-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), reflecting tumor characteristics, present potential as liquid-biopsy markers for early diagnosis and monitoring. This study aims to evaluate molecular signatures of plasma-derived EVs from GBM patients using a conventional flow cytometer. EVs have been isolated from glioma patients and healthy controls (HCs) plasma using density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU). EVs were evaluated by bead-based multiplex analysis in a conventional flow cytometer. Principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical clustering, and correlation analysis provided comprehensive insights into EV characteristics. EVs successfully isolated were visualized in transmission and scanning electron microscopy (STEM). Bead-based multiplex analysis in flow cytometer detected the level of 37 EV surface markers, including tumor-related, cancer stem cell, endothelial cell, and immune cell- specific antigens. PCA identified the EV surface markers that are most significant for differentiating the subjects, and hierarchical clustering revealed four distinct clusters based on EV surface marker levels. EV molecular signature demonstrated considerable heterogeneity across patient clusters. The presence of CD29 emerged not only as a defining factor for a cluster of patients, but also served as a marker to differentiate patients from HCs.
