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

Background Plasma membrane proteins (PMPs) play key roles in cell signalling, adhesion, and trafficking, and are attractive therapeutic targets in cancer due to their surface accessibility. However, their typically low abundance limits detection by conventional proteomic approaches.

methodsTo improve PMP detection, we employed a surface proteomics workflow combining cell surface biotinylation and affinity purification prior to LC-MS/MS analysis in cervical (SiHa) and bladder (UMUC3) cancer cell lines cultured under normoxic (21% O

resultsIn SiHa cells, 43 hypoxia-upregulated proteins were identified exclusively in the biotin-enriched fraction, including ITGB2, ITGA7, AXL, MET, JAG2, and CAV1/CAV2. In UMUC3 cells, 32 unique upregulated PMPs were detected, including CD55, ADGRB1, SLC9A1, NECTIN3, and ACTG1. These proteins were not observed in corresponding whole-cell lysates and are associated with extracellular matrix remodelling, immune modulation, and ion transport. Biotinylation enhanced the detection of membrane-associated pathways such as ECM organisation, integrin signalling, and PI3K-Akt activation. Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed links between membrane receptors and intracellular stress regulators, including mitochondrial proteins.

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that surface biotinylation improves the sensitivity and selectivity of plasma membrane proteomics under hypoxia, revealing hypoxia-responsive proteins and pathways not captured by standard whole-cell analysis.
