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

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are characterized by the recruitment of malignant T-cell clones, predominantly of the CD4(+) T-helper subpopulation, into the skin. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of CTCL and accounts for almost 50% of all primary cutaneous lymphomas. The ProteinChip technology surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight/mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) was used to detect biomarkers in sera from MF patients (n = 25) and healthy controls (n = 26). Therefore, diluted sera were applied to IMAC30 ProteinChip arrays, and the resulting protein profiles were bioinformatically analyzed. A protein set that distinguishes MF patients from healthy controls with a sensitivity of 82.6% and a specificity of 100% was identified. Four significant peaks were identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, immunodepletion, and SELDI-TOF-MS as transthyretin (TTR) and three TTR modifications. A subsequent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed these findings. The ability to detect and identify proteins and protein modifications using SELDI-TOF-MS might reveal a better insight on this kind of disease and may lead to a better understanding and earlier detection of MF patients.
