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

motivationData-independent acquisition (DIA) has become the preferred data acquisition method for mass spectrometry-based proteomics, yet, reproducible workflows for differential expression (DE) analysis and results reporting remain limited. We present DiaReport, an R package that performs precursor- and protein-level DE analysis from DIA-NN output using MSqRob and QFeatures, while generating high-quality, interactive HTML reports through Quarto. DiaReport integrates precursor data, filtering of missing values, normalization, protein summarization and statistical modeling within a single function, supporting both simple pairwise as well as complex experimental designs. The package provides structured outputs and configuration files to ensure computational reproducibility across different studies. To accommodate diverse research needs, DiaReport includes multiple reporting templates tailored to different proteomic applications. Applying DiaReport to an extracellular vesicle (EV) proteomics dataset demonstrates its ability to efficiently analyze DIA data and provide rapid insights into sample quality and protein level differences. AVAILABILITY: DiaReport is an open-source R package available at https://github.com/Gevaert-Lab/diareport (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20120604). The package is platform-independent and distributed under the MIT license. Reports are generated using Quarto and require only standard R dependencies. Detailed documentation, installation guides and usage vignettes are provided within the repository. The interactive HTML reports discussed in this study, including the UPS2 benchmark and EV case study, are archived on Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.20122506 and 10.5281/zenodo.20123378).
