Optimized protein extraction protocol from human skin samples.
Article in Biology methods & protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The skin is the largest organ in the body and is the site for a diverse set of diseases. Yet, given the complexity of the cutaneous tissue, there is a limited availability of data in the literature on skin proteomics. Here, we proposed an adapted and optimized protocol for the extraction of proteins from human skin, using a combination of chemical and mechanical lysis approaches. For this, we used of a lysis buffer containing 2% SDS, 50 mM TEAB, and a 1% protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail, in addition to Matrix A beads and a FastPrep-24 5G homogenizer. For the characterization of the samples, the obtained proteins were purified and digested using the SP3 method (Single-pot, solid phase, sample preparation), and analyzed by nano liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. In this way, we were able to identify around 6000 proteins in the skin samples from healthy individuals and patients with the fungal infection sporotrichosis. Our improved methodology could significantly enrich our understanding of skin biology and provide new perspectives for the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cutaneous diseases.
