Serum proteome profiling identified thrombospondin-1 and lactoferrin as biomarkers of relapsed multiple myeloma.

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
Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy characterized by inevitable relapse despite advances in novel therapeutics. Identifying reliable biomarkers for relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) is crucial to improving clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive proteomic analysis of bone marrow and peripheral serum samples from newly diagnosed MM (NDMM), RRMM, and MM remission patients, along with healthy controls. Using tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled quantitative mass spectrometry, we quantified over 1,000 serum proteins. Identified candidate proteins were further validated via ELISA. Results: Thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) and lactoferrin (LTF) were significantly downregulated in the bone marrow serum of RRMM patients. ELISA validation confirmed markedly reduced levels of THBS1 and LTF in both bone marrow and peripheral serum of RRMM patients compared to NDMM, remission, and healthy control groups. Discussion: Our integrated proteomic and biochemical analyses suggest that the THBS1/LTF protein signature may serve as a predictive biomarker for MM relapse. This signature offers potential clinical utility in disease monitoring and therapeutic stratification.
