Summary
EV research requires standardized reporting for clinical use. EV-Checklist is an AI tool that streamlines reporting of experimental details for extracellular vesicles (EVs), enhancing transparency and adherence to MISEV2023 standards.
Area of Science:
- Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Research
- Biotechnology
- Scientific Reporting Standards
Background:
- Extracellular vesicle (EV) research is transitioning towards clinical applications, necessitating rigorous reporting standards.
- Current reporting guidelines like MISEV2023 are not widely adopted due to time-consuming tools and declining adherence.
- There is a need for efficient tools to improve the transparency and quality of EV research reporting.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop EV-Checklist, a digital tool to streamline reporting of experimental details in EV research.
- To enhance transparency and facilitate adherence to MISEV2023 standards using AI-assisted technology.
- To create a concise reporting tool that aids editors, reviewers, and readers in understanding EV study methodologies and results.
Main Methods:
- Development of EV-Checklist, a digital tool utilizing an AI-assisted algorithm.
- Automated completion of checklists covering EV nomenclature, source, isolation, characterization, and function upon manuscript text upload.
- User validation of AI-generated entries to ensure accuracy and identify reporting gaps.
Main Results:
- EV-Checklist successfully automates the generation of concise reports summarizing key experimental and results details.
- The tool aids in identifying and potentially closing gaps in reporting, such as missing particle/protein ratios.
- EV-Checklist complements existing registries, offering a 'fast-and-easy' approach to enhance data clarity and accessibility.
Conclusions:
- EV-Checklist is a valuable complementary tool for improving the quality and transparency of extracellular vesicle research.
- Widespread adoption, potentially encouraged by journal endorsements, can promote higher adherence to documentation standards and streamline the review process.
- The tool, along with the AI-assisted PMC EV Search, is publicly available to support the EV research community.
