QproMS: a web application for label-free proteomic data analysis.
Article in Bioinformatics advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Motivation: Proteomics has experienced substantial growth in methods and data analysis approaches, with the development of new data-dependent (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) workflow and several search engine algorithms and software packages. Each of these workflows has its unique data analysis package that performs data reduction, missing value imputation, statistical testing, and visualization. Often, these tools are designed for expert users. Results: We present Quantitative Proteomics Made Simple (QProMS), a user-friendly, search engine-agnostic data analysis and visualization pipeline. QProMS guides the user through data analysis and statistical testing in a graphical interface. Statistical tests rely on established R functions and are compatible with all types of label-free quantification experiments. The pipeline recapitulates features from different available software packages and introduces mixed imputation, an improved framework for handling missing values that does not rely on machine learning. QProMS can also perform interaction analyses based on gene ontology, or by querying protein-protein interaction databases. All figures in QProMS are interactive, allowing for investigation of individual proteins of interest before export. The analysis can be saved in a standalone report. QProMS provides a platform for reproducible proteomic data analysis for novice and experienced users, enabling state-of-the-art data analysis of a wide variety of label-free proteomic workflows ranging from global proteome profiling to targeted methods such as proximity labeling. Availability and implementation: QProMS is accessible as a web server hosted at https://shiny.bioserver.ieo.it/app/qproms or can be run locally as a standalone Shiny application with the code and instructions provided at https://github.com/ieoresearch/QProMS. The application may also be run locally by installing it as a library/package and running a single command as described in the README. Code to generate benchmarking is available at https://github.com/grandrea/mixed-imputation-benchmark.
