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

backgroundNeuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a membrane glycoprotein mediating cell-to-cell signaling and has a crucial role in the growth and development of various organ systems. Our study explored its diagnostic value in distinguishing BRAF V600E mutant status in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients by analyzing multiple glycan patterns of serum NRG1 through lectin assays.

methodsWe first extracted serum from PTC patients and tested BRAF V600E mutation by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Then we applied antibody overlay lectin microarray and lectin blot to detect glycol-alterations of NRG1. Then Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL) ELISA was performed according to ELISA index to test the protein fucosylation level of NRG1 (Fuc-NRG1).

resultsWe got glycan profiles of 14 lectins, including GNL, GSL2, AAL, BPL, ECL, CAL, NML, HHL, PHA-L, RCA-I, ConA, DBA, PWA and LEL. Six of them, namely, GSL2, BPL, NML, HHL, PHA-L and LEL, had significantly increased binding affinity capacity in BRAF(+) PTC compared with BRAF(-) PTC controls. LEL, BPL and NML tended to bind to NRG1 in BRAF(+) PTC group. Both AAL ELISA and protein ELISA assays showed that the fucosylated structures of NRG1 had a remarkable increase in BRAF V600E mutant PTC patients compared with BRAF wild type PTC controls.

conclusionsThis study sheds a new light on the role of NRG1 glycosylation in PTC. NRG1 could serve as a supplementary glycobiomarker for BRAF indicator in discrimination of PTC patients with BRAF wild type negative fine needle aspiration results.
