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

Cell surface proteins represent an important source of biomarkers and therapeutic targets. However, due to the inherent sensitivity limitations of existing technologies, tissue and cell-type-specific surfaceomes remain poorly characterized, especially in the context of human diseases. Here, we present nanoMAPS (nanoscale Magnetic Affinity Purification System), a miniaturized proteomic sample preparation method for surfaceome profiling of as few as 100-500 cells (~100,000-fold lower than existing technologies). By performing magnetic bead-based affinity purification within a single microliter-scale droplet, nanoMAPS significantly improves the recovery of surface proteins and reduces non-specific absorption of intracellular proteins. Application of nanoMAPS to primary human immune cells and mouse plasma cell populations enables robust identification of established cell-type-specific surface markers as well as other proteins selectively enriched in disease-associated immune cell subpopulations. Together, these results establish nanoMAPS as a broadly applicable platform for extending surface proteomics technology to rare primary cells isolated directly from diseased tissues.
