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

Biomarker profiles of acute rejection in liver transplant recipients could enhance the diagnosis and management of recipients. Our aim was to identify diagnostic proteoform signatures of acute rejection in circulating immune cells, using an emergent "top-down" proteomics methodology. We prepared differentially processed and cryopreserved cell lysates from 26 nonviral liver transplant recipients by molecular weight-based fractionation and analyzed them by mass spectrometry of whole proteins in three steps: (i) Nanocapillary liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry; (ii) database searching to identify and characterize intact proteoforms; (iii) data processing through a hierarchical linear model matching the study design to quantify proteoform fold changes in patients with rejection versus normal liver function versus acute dysfunction without rejection. Differentially expressed proteoforms were seen in patients with rejection versus normal and nonspecific controls, most evidently in the cell preparations stored in traditional serum-rich media. Mapping analysis of these proteins back to genes through gene ontology and pathway analysis tools revealed multiple signaling pathways, including inflammation mediated by cytokines and chemokines. Larger studies are needed to validate these novel rejection signatures and test their predictive value for use in clinical management.
