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

backgroundKeloid is a pathological skin scar formation with complex and unclear molecular pathology mechanism. Novel biomarkers and associated mechanisms are needed to improve current therapies.

objectivesTo identify novel biomarkers and underlying pathological mechanisms of keloids.

methodsSix pairs of keloid scar tissues and corresponding normal skin tissues were quantitatively analyzed by a high-resolution label-free mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. Differential protein expression data was further analyzed by a comprehensive bioinformatics approach to identify novel biomarkers and mechanistic pathways for keloid formation. Candidate biomarkers were validated experimentally.

resultsIn total, 1359 proteins were identified by proteomic analysis. Of these, 206 proteins exhibited a significant difference in expression between keloid scar and normal skin tissues. RCN3 and CALU were significantly upregulated in keloids. RCN1 and PDGFRL were uniquely expressed in keloids. Pathway analysis suggested that the XBP1-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway was involved in keloid formation. Moreover, a PDGFRL centric gene coexpression network was constructed to illustrate its function in skin. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Our study proposed four novel biomarkers and highlighted the role of XBP1-mediated UPR pathway in the pathology of keloids. It provided novel biological insights that contribute to develop novel therapeutic strategies for keloids.
