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

backgroundSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is highly aggressive and is associated with a dismal prognosis. However, there are no clinically recognized biomarkers for early diagnosis. In this study, we used quantitative proteomics to build differential mitochondrial protein profiles that may be used for early diagnosis and investigated the pathogenesis of lung cancer.

methodsWe cultured SCLC cells (NCI-H446) and normal human bronchial epithelial cells (16-HBE); mitochondria were extracted and purified using differential and Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Subsequently, we used Western blot analysis to validate mitochondrial purity and labeled proteins/peptides from NCI-H446 and 16-HBE cells using relative and absolute quantification of ectopic tags. We then analyzed mixed samples and identified proteins using two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Additionally, we performed subsequent bioinformatic proteome analyses using the programs ExPASy, GOA, and STRING. Finally, the relationship between ornithine aminotransferase expression and clinicopathological features in lung cancer patients was evaluated using immunohistochemistry.

resultsOne hundred and fifty-three mitochondrial proteins were differentially expressed between 16-HBE and NCI-H446 cells. The expression of 30 proteins between 16-HBE and NCI-H446 cells increased more than 1.3-fold. The upregulation of ornithine aminotransferase was associated with pathological grade and clinical tumor node metastasis stage.

conclusionOur experiment represented a promising method for building differential mitochondrial protein profiles between NCI-H446 and 16-HBE cells. Such analysis may also help to identify novel biomarkers of lung cancer.
