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

backgroundTick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), the most prevalent arbovirus, causes potentially fatal encephalitis in humans. Prevalent in northeast China, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) poses a major threat to public health, local economies and tourism. There are no biomarkers for TBE, which is classified serologically and clinically. Due to sample heterogeneity of samples and different detection platforms, obtaining stable markers is a great challenge for metabolomics. Accurate annotation is vital for data mining and interpretation.

objectiveTo identify reliable biomarkers of TBEV infection.

methodsAn untargeted metabolomics analysis of serum from 30 TBE patients and 30 healthy controls was carried out. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics methods were used to characterize the subjects' serum metabolic profiles and to screen and validate TBE biomarkers.

resultsA total of 3370 molecular features were extracted from each sample, and the peak intensity of each feature was obtained. Pattern analysis, principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis were used to screen for potential metabolites. Bilirubin, LysoPC (18:1[9Z]), palmitic acid, and CL (8:0/8:0/8:0/8:0) were significantly different. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that these metabolites were in the fatty acid biosynthesis and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways. The phospholipid family had a significant difference in both the difference ratio and the abundance.

conclusionPhospholipids may be used to distinguish TBEV patients from healthy controls. TBEV infection affects the normal metabolic activity of host cells, providing insight into the pathogenesis of TBE.
