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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for >700,000 deaths worldwide, largely related to poor rates of diagnosis. Our previous work identified glycoproteins with increased levels of fucosylation in HCC. Plate-based assays to measure this change were compromised by increased levels of heterophilic antibodies with glycan lacking terminal galactose residues, which allowed for increased binding to the lectins used in these assays. To address this issue, we developed a multi-step protein A/G incubation and filtration method to remove the contaminating signal. However, this method was time consuming and expensive so alternative methods were desired. Herein, we describe a simple method relying on PEG precipitation that allows for the removal of IgG and IgM but retention of glycoproteins of interest. This method was tested on three sample sets, two internal and one external. PEG depletion of heterophilic IgG and IgM reduced in the coefficient of variation as observed with the protein A/G filtration method from 26.82% to 7.50% and allowed for the measurement of fucosylated protein. This method allowed for the measurement of fucosylated kininogen, which could serve as a biomarker of HCC. In conclusion, a new and simple method for the depletion of heterophilic IgG and IgM was developed and allowed for the analysis of fucosylated kininogen in patients with liver disease.
