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

backgroundCurrent quantification methods for mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics either do not provide sufficient control of variability or are difficult to implement for routine clinical testing.

resultsWe present here an integrated quantification (InteQuan) method that better controls pre-analytical and analytical variability than the popular quantification method using stable isotope-labeled standard peptides (SISQuan). We quantified 16 lung cancer biomarker candidates in human plasma samples in three assessment studies, using immunoaffinity depletion coupled with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) MS. InteQuan outperformed SISQuan in precision in all three studies and tolerated a two-fold difference in sample loading. The three studies lasted over six months and encountered major changes in experimental settings. Nevertheless, plasma proteins in low ng/ml to low μg/ml concentrations were measured with a median technical coefficient of variation (CV) of 11.9% using InteQuan. The corresponding median CV using SISQuan was 15.3% after linear fitting. Furthermore, InteQuan surpassed SISQuan in measuring biological difference among clinical samples and in distinguishing benign versus cancer plasma samples.

conclusionsWe demonstrated that InteQuan is a simple yet robust quantification method for MS-based quantitative proteomics, especially for applications in biomarker research and in routine clinical testing.
