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

Mass spectrometry-based targeted proteomics allows objective protein quantitation of clinical biomarkers from a single section of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue biopsies. We combined high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) to increase assay sensitivity. The modular nature of the FAIMS source allowed direct comparison of the performance of FAIMS-PRM to PRM. Limits of quantitation were determined by spiking synthetic peptides into a human spleen matrix. In addition, 20 clinical samples were analyzed using FAIMS-PRM and the quantitation of HER2 was compared with that obtained with the Ventana immunohistochemistry assay. FAIMS-PRM improved the overall signal-to-noise ratio over that from PRM and increased assay sensitivity in FFPE tissue analysis for four (HER2, EGFR, cMET, and KRAS) of five proteins of clinical interest. FAIMS-PRM enabled sensitive quantitation of basal HER2 expression in breast cancer samples classified as HER2 negative by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, we determined the degree of FAIMS-dependent background reduction and showed that this correlated with an improved lower limit of quantitation with FAIMS. FAIMS-PRM is anticipated to benefit clinical trials in which multiple biomarker questions must be addressed and the availability of tumor biopsy samples is limited.
