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

backgroundSmall extracellular vesicles (sEV) play a crucial role in immune responses to viral infection. However, the composition of sEV derived from children with viral pneumonia remains ill defined.

methodsFirst, we performed mass spectrometry-based label-free proteomic analysis of urinary sEV in 7 children with viral pneumonia, 4 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia and 20 healthy children. Then a total of 33 proteins were selected to validate by multiple reaction monitoring analysis in an independent cohort of 20 healthy children and 29 children with pneumonia.

resultsIn the discovery phase, a total of 1621 proteins were identified, while 260 proteins have differential expression in children with viral pneumonia compared to healthy children. Biological pathways primarily associated with neutrophil degranulation, carbohydrate metabolism and endocytosis were enriched in children with viral pneumonia. Finally, the abundance of eight proteins was verified to be significantly higher in children with viral pneumonia than in healthy children.

conclusionsThis pilot study with proteomic profiles of urinary sEV provided insights to the host response to viral pathogen exposure and potential diagnostic biomarkers for children with viral pneumonia, and served as the basis for understanding the fundamental biology of infection. IMPACT: There were significant differences in the proteomic features of urinary sEV between children with viral pneumonia and those with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Many viral infection-related proteins were identified in urinary sEV and overrepresented in children with viral pneumonia, which facilitates our understanding of the fundamental biology of viral infection. A total of eight proteins (ANPEP, ASAH1, COL11A1, EHD4, HEXB, LGALS3BP, SERPINA1 and SERPING1) were verified as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of viral pneumonia in children.
