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 aim of this study was to evaluate serum biomarkers of systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients, with and without neuropsychiatric (NP) manifestation by high-resolution proteomic analysis.

methodsSLE patients with NP (NPSLE, n=9), SLE patients without NP (non-NPSLE, n=9) and healthy controls (HC, n=9) were prospectively enrolled in this study, and their plasma samples were collected and pooled into 3 NPSLE, 3 non-NPSLE and 3 HC samples for discovery profile. The TMT-LC-MS/MS-based proteomics approach was used to identify the differential proteome among the three matched groups, and the data were analyzed by bioinformatics tools, including Gene Ontology (GO) categories, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, to explore canonical pathways and networks involved in the pathogenesis of NPSLE. To validation of differentially expressed proteomics results, four proteins were measured by ELISA.

resultsThere were altogether 223 differentially expressed proteins in NPSLE groups compared with healthy controls (HC), of which 96 proteins increased while 127 proteins decreased. Compared with non-NPSLE, there were only 49 differentially expressed proteins in NPSLE groups, of which 37 proteins increased while 12 proteins decreased. The significantly changed pathway that those proteins are involved in was complement and coagulation cascades in NPSLE group compared with health controls. However, we didn't find significantly changed pathway between NPSLE group and non-NPSLE group. Five proteins were found significantly changed in all group-comparisons with consistent tendencies using Venn analysis, including Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), C-reactive protein (CRP), KRT16, IGHV4-4 and CTRP3. Four proteins including CTRP3, VDBP, PAPPA and TRYP2 were selected to estimate the validity of the proteomics approach by ELISA. The expression levels of CTRP3 and TRYP2 were significantly changed in NPSLE patients compared with either HC or non-NPSLE patients.

conclusionsOur research has successfully established serum protein profiles of NPSLE and non-NPSLE patients through TMT technology and screened out five proteins significantly changed in group-comparisons with consistent tendencies. The pathway of complement and coagulation cascades may participate in pathogenesis of NPSLE and non-NPSLE.
