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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by the degradation of elastin, the major insoluble protein of lung tissues. The degradation of elastin gives rise to desmosine (DES) and isodesmosine (IDES), two major urinary products typified by a hydrophilic pyridinium-based cross-linker structure. A high sensitivity method based on nanoflow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reaction monitoring was developed for the analysis of urinary DES and IDES. The analytes were derivatized with propionic anhydride and deuterated DES (D(4)-DES) was used as an internal standard. This method enables the quantification of DES and IDES in as little as 50 microL of urine and provides a detection limit of 0.10 ng/mL (0.95 fmol on-column). We report the analysis of DES and IDES in a cohort of 40 urine specimens from four groups of individuals: (a) COPD rapid decliners (11.8 +/- 3.7 ng/mg creatine (crea)), (b) COPD slow decliners (16.0 +/- 3.1 ng/mg crea), (c) healthy smokers (13.2 +/- 1.9 ng/mg crea), and (d) healthy nonsmokers (14.9 +/- 2.9 ng/mg crea). Our analysis reveals a statistically significant decrease in the level of urinary DES and IDES in COPD rapid decliner patients compared to healthy nonsmoker controls and COPD slow decliner patients. This methodology may be useful for monitoring DES and IDES levels in well controlled animal models for COPD or for longitudinal studies in COPD patients.
