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

Liquid biopsy has emerged as a valuable clinical tool due to its non-invasive nature and real-time molecular profiling capabilities. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs generated from mature tRNAs or tRNA precursors. Recently, increasing studies have reported tsRNAs' potential to serve as promising biomarkers in various diseases, especially cancers. Notably, tsRNAs can be detected in various kinds of body fluids, such as seminal fluid plasma, blood plasma, saliva, and urine, and have been demonstrated to exist stably in body fluids. In this mini-review, we will summarize the recent discoveries on the role of tsRNAs in body fluids as biomarkers, hoping to provide new insights for disease diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.
