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

Objective: The present study aimed to determine peptidome patterns in breast cancer (BC). Methods: We analyzed the plasma proteomic profiling of 80 BC patients and 50 healthy controls, using hydrophobic interaction chromatography magnetic beads (MB-HIC8) separation followed by Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/ time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Results: ClinProTools software identified 92 peaks that differed among the analyzed groups, 33 peaks were significantly different (P < 0.05). Of those, 22 peaks were up-regulated while 11 peaks were down-regulated in BC patients compared with the healthy controls. Three peptide ion signatures (m/z 1,570.31, 1,897.4 and 2,568.17) were provided by the Quick Classifier model to discriminate BC patients from healthy control subjects with 96.4% accuracy. External validation was performed by an independent group and this achieved a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 76.9%. Conclusion: MALDI-TOF MS has good analytical performance in distinguishing BC patients from healthy controls.
