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

introductionInvasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is a type of breast cancer, usually detected in advanced stages due to its asymptomatic nature which ultimately leads to low survival rate. Identification of urinary metabolic adaptations induced by IDC to understand the disease pathophysiology and monitor therapy response would be a helpful approach in clinical settings. Moreover, its non-invasive and cost effective strategy better suited to minimize apprehension among high risk population.

objectiveThis study aims toward investigating the urinary metabolic alterations of IDC by targeted (LC-MRM/MS) and untargeted (GC-MS) approaches for the better understanding of the disease pathophysiology and monitoring therapy response.

methodsUrinary metabolic alterations of IDC subjects (63) and control subjects (63) were explored by targeted (LC-MRM/MS) and untargeted (GC-MS) approaches. IDC specific urinary metabolomics signature was extracted by applying both univariate and multivariate statistical tools.

resultsStatistical analysis identified 39 urinary metabolites with the highest contribution to metabolomic alterations specific to IDC. Out of which, 19 metabolites were identified from targeted LC-MRM/MS analysis, while 20 were identified from the untargeted GC-MS analysis. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis evidenced 6 most discriminatory metabolites from each type of approach that could differentiate between IDC subjects and controls with higher sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, metabolic pathway analysis depicted several dysregulated pathways in IDC including sugar, amino acid, nucleotide metabolism, TCA cycle etc.

conclusionsOverall, this study provides valuable inputs regarding altered urinary metabolites which improved our knowledge on urinary metabolomic alterations induced by IDC. Moreover, this study identified several dysregulated metabolic pathways which offer further insight into the disease pathophysiology.
