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

backgroundEarly diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis by mass spectrometry-based proteomics may result in therapies to retard or modify disease progression. We aimed to identify differences in posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in pancreatic fluid proteins from individuals with chronic pancreatitis (n=9) and non-pancreatitis controls (n=9).

methodsWe collected proteomic data from pancreatic fluid using mass spectrometry techniques. We performed database searches with emphasis on PTMs using ProteinPilot. We compared the frequency of specific PTMs in pancreatic fluid between cohorts and also to those identified in bile, gastroduodenal fluid, urine, and pancreatic duct and stellate cell lysates.

resultsWe identified 97 PTMs in endoscopically-collected pancreatic fluid, of which 11 were identified exclusively in one cohort and 9 others were significantly different in frequency between cohorts. Comparing pancreatic fluid with other specimens revealed differences in specific PTM frequencies, indicating that the identified PTMs were not merely artifacts of sample processing.

conclusionsWe determined PTMs of proteins extracted from pancreatic fluid which differed in frequency in chronic pancreatitis patients verses controls. Such PTMs may serve as biomarker candidates of chronic pancreatitis upon validation with larger cohorts. The analysis of the PTM profile of pancreatic fluid proteins offers an alternative method to standard protein-based biomarker discovery. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis is paramount in developing strategies to modify, retard, or halt disease progression. In the present study, we compared post-transitional modifications (PTMs) of proteins extracted from pancreatic fluid of chronic pancreatitis patients verses a control cohort. With many mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows aimed to identify and quantify proteins, data for PTMs typically comes gratis, in that such data are collected during protein sequencing and, as such, require only downstream bioinformatics processing. We identified a total of 20 PTMs which were exclusive to or significantly different between cohorts. Upon validation with larger cohorts and enrichment of these PTMs may serve as biomarker candidates of chronic pancreatitis. PTM profiling of pancreatic fluid proteins is complementary to standard protein-based biomarker discovery, and may be readily applied to studies of pancreatic disease. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Posttranslational Protein modifications in biology and Medicine.
