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 apply proteomic methodology for the analysis of proteome changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIAL AND

methodsAll the participators including 31 PCOS patients and 31 healthy female as controls were recruited, the clinical characteristics data was recorded at the time of recruitment, the laboratory biochemical data was detected. Then, a data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics method was performed to compare the serum protein changes between PCOS patients and controls. In addition, Western blotting was used to validate the expression of identified proteomic biomarkers.

resultsThere were 80 proteins differentially expressed between PCOS patients and controls significantly, including 54 downregulated and 26 upregulated proteins. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that downregulated proteins were enriched in platelet degranulation, cell adhesion, cell activation, blood coagulation, hemostasis, defense response and inflammatory response terms; upregulated proteins were enriched in cofactor catabolic process, hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, antioxidant activity, cellular oxidant detoxification, cellular detoxification, antibiotic catabolic process and hydrogen peroxide metabolic process. Receiver operating characteristic curves analysis showed that the area under curve of Histone H4 (H4), Histone H2A (H2A), Trem-like transcript 1 protein (TLT-1) were all over than 0.9, indicated promising diagnosis values of these proteins. Western blotting results proved that the detected significant proteins, including H4, H2A, TLT-1, Peroxiredoxin-1, Band 3 anion transport protein were all differently expressed in PCOS and control groups significantly.

conclusionThese proteomic biomarkers provided the potentiality to help us understand PCOS better, but future studies comparing systemic expression and exact role of these candidate biomarkers in PCOS are essential for confirmation of this hypothesis.
