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

backgroundThe gastric cancer is one of the most common and mortal cancer worldwide. The initial asymptomatic development and further nonspecific symptoms result in diagnosis at the advanced stage with poor prognosis. Yet, no clinically useful biomarkers are available for this malignancy, and invasive gastrointestinal endoscopy remains the only reliable option at the moment. Hence, there is a need for discovery of clinically useful noninvasive diagnostic and/or prognostic tool as an alternative (or complement) for current diagnostic tools. Here we aimed to search for serum proteins characteristic for local and invasive gastric cancer.

methodsPre-treatment blood samples were collected from patients with diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma at the different stage of disease: 35 patients with locally advanced cancer and 18 patients with metastatic cancer; 50 healthy donors were also included as a control group. The low-molecular-weight fraction of serum proteome (i.e., endogenous peptidome) was profiled by the MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry, and the whole proteome components were identified and quantified by the LC-MS/MS shotgun approach.

resultsMulticomponent peptidome signatures were revealed that allowed good discrimination between healthy controls and cancer patients, as well as between patients with locally advanced and metastatic cancer. Moreover, a LC-MS/MS approach revealed 49 serum proteins with different abundances between healthy donors and cancer patients (predominantly proteins associated with inflammation and acute phase response). Furthermore, 19 serum proteins with different abundances between patients with locally advanced and metastatic cancer were identified (including proteins associated with cytokine/chemokine response and metabolism of nucleic acids). However, neither peptidome profiling nor shotgun proteomics approach allowed detecting serum components discriminating between two subgroups of patients with local disease who either developed or did not develop metastases during follow-up.

conclusionsThe molecular differences between locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer, as well as more obvious differences between healthy individuals and cancer patients, have marked reflection at the level of serum proteome. However, we have no evidence that features of pre-treatment serum proteome could predict a risk of cancer dissemination in patients treated due to local disease. Nevertheless, presented data confirmed potential applicability of a serum proteome signature-based biomarker in diagnostics of gastric cancer.
