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

BACKGROUND/

aimEarly detection of disease is a pivotal factor for determining prognosis and clinical outcome of patients with cancer. As cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is currently difficult to detect and most cases of such cancer present with late-stage disease at the time of initial diagnosis, we employed proteomic analysis of the bile to identify potential candidate biomarkers for Opisthorchis viverrini (OV)-associated CCA. MATERIALS AND

methodsProteins in pooled bile samples from patients with CCA and OV infection, with CCA without OV infection, with OV infection but no CCA, and with neither OV infection nor CCA were separated by 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, in-gel trypsin digestion and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

resultsAccording to our analysis, three proteins, namely aristaless-like homeobox1 isoform X1 (ALX1), major histocompatibility complex polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA), and uncharacterized protein C14orf105 isoform X12 were found to be potential markers for OV infection, as they were predominantly found in all OV-infected groups. Although these proteins were detected in both OV-infected patients with and without CCA, their abundance was 2.90-, 7.06-and 3.65-fold higher, respectively, in those with CCA. In patients with CCA, potential novel biomarkers wre immunoglobulin heavy chain, translocated in liposarcoma (TLS), visual system homeobox 2 (VSX2) and an unnamed protein product.

conclusionWe provided novel information regarding potential biomarkers for OV infection and CCA. These two protein profiles could benefit diagnosis as well as monitoring of CCA.
