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 vesicle-associated microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) hold promise for liquid biopsy, but their clinical utility is hindered by EV heterogeneity. Here, we report DEEPER, a DNA-encoded orthogonal recognition platform for selective barcoding of tumor-derived EV subpopulations and in situ miRNA profiling. DEEPER uses four aptamers targeting Cluster of Differentiation 44 (CD44), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor‌ (EGFR), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2‌ (HER2), and ‌Programmed Death-Ligand 1(PD-L1) to generate orthogonal barcodes that distinguish 15 EV subpopulations. Barcoded EVs then undergo targeted membrane fusion with liposome probes, enabling sensitive in situ analysis of subpopulation-specific miRNAs. In a 60-sample cohort of patients with gastric cancer (GC) and healthy donors (HDs), DEEPER identified a high-performing signature, GC-EV miRNA Prime, comprising EGFR
