Differential proteome analysis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar curvatures.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAlthough the pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear, there are little evidences of the pathogenesis in patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar AIS. The purpose of this study was to identify proteins or proteomes that may be causally related to the pathogenesis of AIS with structured thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE).
methodsA total of 20 control volunteers and 61 AIS in patients with thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature were included. First, the plasma samples of each five AIS with pure thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature and control samples were subjected to 2D-DIGE analysis. Protein spots that were expressed differently by the AIS and control groups were selected and identified by nanoscale liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) analysis. To characterize the differently-expressed proteins in AIS patients, we performed functional pathway analysis using the Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships (PANTHER) system. Additionally, the proteins were compared between control and AIS using western blotting. Lastly, prospectively collected 15 control and 41 AIS with thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature samples were compared to the differentially expressed proteins.
resultsA total of 3862 ± 137 spots were detected, of which 11 spots met the criteria when compared with controls. Nine proteins were identified by nanoLC-MS/MS. Functional analysis showed the association of the proteins in AIS patients with blood coagulation using the PANTHER system. Of the proteins, vitamin D binding protein (DBP) significantly correlated with Cobb angle in thoracolumbar/lumbar curvatures. DBP expression of the prospectively collected AIS samples were significantly higher than those of controls (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThis study suggests that DBP and several coagulation-related proteins may play a role in the pathogenesis of AIS. DBP appears to be a marker of severity of AIS with thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature.
