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

purposeTo compare the proteomic profiles of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) liver biopsy material and matched frozen liver tissue from patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). EXPERIMENTAL

designA label-free mass spectrometry-based approach was used to profile global protein expression in FFPE and frozen liver biopsy specimens from five patients with NASH.

resultsEight hundred and sixty proteins were identified with >75% confidence: 225 common proteins were identified in both the FFPE and frozen tissues, and an additional 142 and 493 proteins were identified in the FFPE and frozen tissues, respectively. Functional analyses revealed a general, nonspecific reduction in the number of proteins identified in FFPE tissue compared with frozen tissue. No bias toward proteins located in any specific subcellular compartments or implicated in any particular biological functions was observed. The relative abundance of several proteins with functions relating to the pathogenesis of NASH (peroxiredoxin-1, fatty acid binding protein 1, fatty acid synthase, vimentin, catalase, and glutathione S-transferase A1) was similar in FFPE and frozen liver tissues. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: FFPE liver biopsy material from NASH patients can be used for global proteomic analysis and biomarker identification studies, although a universal reduction in the number of identified proteins compared with frozen tissue is likely.
