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 glycosylation alterations of serum and IgG are involved in a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and have shown great potential in biomarker field. The diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is exclusive. Our study aimed to discover the potential glyco-biomarkers for auxiliary diagnosis of ITP.

methodsThe serum samples were obtained from 61 ITP patients and 35 healthy controls, and IgG samples were purified from 34 out of 61 ITP patients and 35 healthy controls. DNA sequencer-assisted fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (DSA-FACE) was used to analyze serum and IgG N-glycan profiling.

results6 of 12 serum N-glycan peaks, 6 of 7 IgG N-glycan peaks, serum fucosylation, and IgG galactosylation were significantly different between ITP patients and healthy controls (p < 0.05). IgG peak 7 showed good diagnostic efficacy for discriminating ITP patients from healthy individuals (AUC 0.967). ITP patients with severe thrombocytopenia had a significantly lower serum fucosylation than ITP patients with mild and moderate thrombocytopenia (p < 0.05). Serum fucosylation and serum peak 5 were correlated with platelet counts in ITP patients with severe thrombocytopenia, and the absolute values of correlation coefficient were both over 0.5.

conclusionsThe specific N-glycan patterns of serum and IgG were observed in ITP patients. IgG peak 7 was a potential biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis of ITP.
