MALDI-TOF/MS Analysis of Non-Invasive Human Urine and Saliva Samples for the Identification of New Cancer Biomarkers.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Cancer represents a group of heterogeneous diseases that are a leading global cause of death. Even though mortality has decreased in the past thirty years for different reasons, most patients are still diagnosed at the advanced stage, with limited therapeutic choices and poor outcomes. Moreover, the majority of cancers are detected using invasive painful methods, such as endoscopic biopsy, making the development of non-invasive or minimally invasive methods for the discovery and fast detection of specific biomarkers a crucial need. Among body fluids, a valuable non-invasive alternative to tissue biopsy, the most accessible and least invasive are undoubtedly urine and saliva. They are easily retrievable complex fluids containing a large variety of endogenous compounds that may provide information on the physiological condition of the body. The combined analysis of these fluids with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS), a reliable and easy-to-use instrumentation that provides information with relatively simple sample pretreatments, could represent the ideal option to rapidly achieve fast early stage diagnosis of tumors and their real-time monitoring. On this basis, the present review summarizes the recently reported applications relevant to the MALDI analysis of human urine and saliva samples.
