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

objectiveThe diagnosis of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SNRA) is often difficult due to the unavailability of reliable laboratory markers. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed proteins in sera of SNRA, seropositive RA (SPRA), and healthy donors (HD).

methodsA total of 32 seropositive RA patients, 32 SNRA patients, and 35 HD were enrolled in our study. Differentially expressed proteins between 3 groups were identified via isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomic analysis, and an ELISA test was used for the validation test. Correlation analysis was conducted by GraphPad Prism.

resultsUsing iTRAQ quantitative proteomics, we identified 14 proteins were significantly different between SPRA and SNRA, including 4 upregulated proteins and 10 downregulated proteins. Four differentially expressed proteins were validated by ELISA test, and the results showed that SAA1 protein was significantly higher in SPRA and SNRA patients compared with HD, and PSME1 was elevated in SPRA patients. What's more, SAA1 was increased in the anti-CCP or RF high-level group in RA patients, and PSME1 was increased in the RF high-level group. Alternatively, SAA1 was positively correlated with inflammation indicators in RA patients, while PSME1 showed no correlation with inflammation indicators.

conclusionsiTRAQ proteomic approaches revealed variations in serum protein composition among SPRA patients, SNRA patients, and HD and provided new idea for advanced diagnostic methods and precision treatment of RA.
