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

backgroundThe pathobiology of atopic asthma is complex and the symptoms similar to other respiratory diseases. As such, identification of biomarkers of atopic asthma is of prime importance for better diagnosis and control of the disease.

objectivesWe sought to study the changes in plasma proteome and cytokine-expression profile across healthy and atopic asthmatics for identifying biomarkers and exploring aberrant pathways for atopic asthma.

methodsA pilot-scale study in humans was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins in blood plasma of healthy controls (n=5) and treatment-naïve atopic asthma patients (n=5) using quantitative label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry proteomics and ELISA.

resultsMass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis revealed ApoE to be significantly downregulated in atopic asthmatics compared to healthy volunteers. Decreased expression of ApoE in atopic asthmatics was validated by immunoblotting (50.74% decrease). Comparison with atopic asthmatics and COPD patients showed that ApoE was decreased (36.33%) in atopic asthma compared to COPD. IL33 was significantly upregulated in atopic asthmatics compared to healthy subjects (3.84-fold).

conclusionApoE was downregulated and IL33 upregulated in atopic asthma patients compared to healthy volunteers. These two proteins' profiles were distinct in atopic asthma from healthy and COPD plasma samples. Differential expression of these proteins could serve as a probable candidate for a two-protein classifier-based prognostic biomarker of atopic asthma.
