Application of metabolomics by UHPLC-MS/MS in diagnostics and biomarker discovery of non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundTargeted metabolomics was utilized in case studies of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to develop and test metabolite classifiers in serum as potential biomarkers for new lung cancer diagnostic strategies, cancer staging, and subtype determination in the Chinese population.
methodsA total of 77 samples, including 45 NSCLC patients from stage I to IV, and 32 healthy controls were included in this study. After serum extraction, metabolic assays based on a wide range of targeted metabolome technologies and the UPLC-MS-MS detection platform were performed to detect metabolites in them. Custom database and multivariate statistical analysis were utilized to evaluate the difference of metabolome between different arms.
resultsA total of 296 metabolites were detected in all samples, of which 81 were found differentially expressed among lung cancer patients and controls. While the principal component analysis indicated that the metabolome analysis is clearly powerful in differentiating lung cancer patients from normal controls, no significant differences in the serum metabolites between different lung cancer stages or between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma were observed.
conclusionsThis study showed the power of the novel UPLC-MS/MS platform in serum metabolic profiling for the detection of NSCLC, which might provide new potential tumor biomarkers and can accelerate the development of new diagnostic strategies in NSCLC.
