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

purposeThe research is endeavored to establish a serum protein fingerprint model for predicting radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma through the analysis of the serum expressed proteins of the pre- and post-treatment nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy.

methodsSurface-enhanced laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry and CM-10 protein chip were used to detect the serum proteomic patterns of 50 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with different radiosensitivity. Thirty-eight of the 50 patients after the treatment were also studied. Biomarker Wizard 3.01 and Biomarker Pattern 5.01 were used in combination to analyze the data and to develop predicting models.

resultsAt the molecular weight range of 2,000-20,000, the software identified an average of 83 mass peaks between radiation sensitive group and radiation resistant group. 11 protein peaks were significantly different. Of the 83 mass peaks, 4 mass peaks (mass/charge ratio [m/z] 2,575, 3,942, 6,117 and 6,778) were chosen automatically to construct a classification tree. The diagnostic accuracy was 78.0 %. M/z 6,117 and 6,778 of the radiation sensitive group after the treatment trended to those of the radiation resistant group.

conclusionsThe technology of surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry can be used to screen and identify differentially expressed proteins associated with different radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal cancer. It should be a very useful tool for predicting radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
