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

Exosomes have been identified as optimal biomarkers to screen for multiple diseases. However, few studies focus on the abundant exosome population isolated from plasma of migraine. This study investigated whether proteins in abundant exosomes can aid in the diagnosis of chronic migraine (CM). Plasma exosomes were collected by centrifugation, from which protein samples were extracted. A pilot study (CM, 18; episodic migraine (EM), 26) followed by a second dataset (CM, 26; EM, 16; tension-type headache (TTH), 20; control, 22) was applied to establish a diagnostic model of CM. We employed proteomics based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to search for potential candidate biomarkers in plasma exosomes from CM patients. In total, 530 proteins in plasma exosomes were co-detected. Among them, 13 proteins were found significantly dysregulated between the plasma exosomes of CM patients and other groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed a combination of six proteins (upregulated: RAP2B, AK1, BID, DAG1, PICALM, PSMB2) could distinguish CM patients with high accuracy. Linear correlation analysis showed that the combination was significantly correlated with Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) scores (assessing the negative impact of headaches on normal daily activity). The RT-qPCR results showed the same trends in CM models with nitroglycerin as the exosomal protein sequencing results. These data revealed dysregulated proteins in plasma exosomes of CM, and the combination of plasma exosomal proteins RAP2B, AK1, BID, DAG1, PICALM, and PSMB2 could serve as a novel candidate biomarker for CM diagnosis.
