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 nanocarriers, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipoproteins, supermeres, and exomeres are diverse lipid-protein-nucleic acid assemblies. Among them, supermeres hold significant diagnostic potential but are challenging to characterize due to limited surface biomarker information and labor-intensive isolation methods. This study introduces an isolation-free Ion Exchange Membrane Sensing method for the detection of supermeres within 30 min using 50 µL of sample, with a sensitivity of 10⁶-10⁷ supermeres/mL. Validation through ultracentrifugation (UC) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) confirms the detection accuracy and specificity. Supermeres carry key proteins such as HSPA13, ENO2, and DDR1 analogous to tetraspanin in EV. Supermeres outperform small EVs (sEVs) and exomeres across multiple shared and unique surface proteins critical to colorectal cancer diagnosis, highlighting their superior clinical utility and potential as next-generation biomarkers in precision medicine.
