Proteomic signatures of physical, cognitive, and imaging outcomes in multiple sclerosis.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundA quantitative measurement of serum proteome biomarkers that would associate with disease progression endpoints can provide risk stratification for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and supplement the clinical decision-making process. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn total, 202 PwMS were enrolled in a longitudinal study with measurements at two time points with an average follow-up time of 5.4 years. Clinical measures included the Expanded Disability Status Scale, Timed 25-foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg, and Symbol Digit Modalities Tests. Subjects underwent magnetic resonance imaging to determine the volumetric measures of the whole brain, gray matter, deep gray matter, and lateral ventricles. Serum samples were analyzed using a custom immunoassay panel on the Olink™ platform, and concentrations of 18 protein biomarkers were measured. Linear mixed-effects models and adjustment for multiple comparisons were performed.
resultsSubjects had a significant 55.6% increase in chemokine ligand 20 (9.7 pg/mL vs. 15.1 pg/mL, p < 0.001) and neurofilament light polypeptide (10.5 pg/mL vs. 11.5 pg/mL, p = 0.003) at the follow-up time point. Additional changes in CUB domain-containing protein 1, Contactin 2, Glial fibrillary acidic protein, Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and Osteopontin were noted but did not survive multiple comparison correction. Worse clinical performance in the 9-HPT was associated with neurofilament light polypeptide (p = 0.001). Increases in several biomarker candidates were correlated with greater neurodegenerative changes as measured by different brain volumes.
conclusionMultiple proteins, selected from a disease activity test that represent diverse biological pathways, are associated with physical, cognitive, and radiographic outcomes. Future studies should determine the utility of multiple protein assays in routine clinical care.
