Sample preparation and cleanup methods for clinical top-down proteomics.
Review in Expert review of proteomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe investigation of different proteoforms in clinical samples is a promising approach to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of diseases. Furthermore, proteoform analysis holds great potential for identifying disease-specific biomarkers and targets for personalized medicine. Despite advances in top-down proteomics (TDP) instrumentation, sample preparation and cleanup remain challenging. Work in this area has focused on developing rapid, cost-effective, and less-labor-intensive protocols aimed at minimizing the introduction of artefactual modifications to endogenous proteoforms or bias in proteoform recovery during sample processing. AREA COVERED: To inform the selection of sample processing approaches in clinical TDP, this review summarizes state-of-the-art targeted (i.e. affinity and non-affinity-based enrichment) and untargeted (i.e. gel-based fractionation) sample preparation protocols. In addition, currently available offline and online sample cleanup procedures (e.g. dialysis, solid-phase extraction, filter-aided sample preparation, precipitation, and solid-phase protein preparation) are reviewed, highlighting their effectiveness for desalting and/or detergent removal. EXPERT OPINION: TDP demonstrates great potential in the clinical setting due to its ability to capture disease-specific proteoforms commonly overlooked in traditional diagnostic assays. The establishment of standardized guidelines for reproducible clinical TDP workflows is essential to leverage advances in sample preparation techniques and analytical instrumentation to facilitate wider adoption of TDP for clinical applications.
