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

backgroundDiabetes is an important risk factor for developing tuberculosis. This association leads to exacerbation of tuberculosis symptoms and delayed treatment of both the diseases. Molecular mechanism and biomarkers/drug targets related to copathogenesis of tuberculosis and diabetes are still poorly understood. In this study, proteomics based 2D-MALDI/MS approach was employed to identify host signature proteins which are altered during copathogenesis of tuberculosis and diabetes.

methodsComparative proteome of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy controls, tuberculosis and diabetes patients in comparison to comorbid diabetes and tuberculosis patients was analyzed. Gel based proteomics approach followed by in gel trypsin digestion and peptide identification by mass spectrometry was used for signature protein identification.

resultsTotal of 18 protein spots with differential expression in tuberculosis and diabetes copathogenesis (TBDM) patients in comparison to other groups were identified. These proteins belonged to four functional categories i.e. structural, cell cycle/growth regulation, signaling and intermediary metabolism. These include Vimentin, tubulin beta chain protein, Actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2, coffilin 1 (Structural), PDZ LIM domain protein, Rho-GDP dissociation inhibitor, Ras related protein Rab (signaling), superoxide dismutase, dCTPpyrophosphatase 1, Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 12, three isoforms of Peptidylprolylcis-trans isomerase A, SH3 domain containing protein (metabolism), three isoforms of Protein S100A9 and S100A8 (cell cycle progression/growth regulation).

conclusionProteins identified to be differentially expressed in TBDM patient can act as potent biomarkers and as predictors for copathogenesis of tuberculosis and diabetes.
