Metabolomics and machine learning approaches for diagnostic biomarkers screening in systemic light chain amyloidosis.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2025. 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
Delayed diagnosis of systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is common and associated with worse survival and early mortality. Current diagnosis still relies on invasive tissue biopsies, highlighting the need for sensitive, noninvasive biomarkers for early diagnosis. This study aims to identify promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AL amyloidosis. Peripheral venous blood samples from 70 newly diagnosed systemic AL amyloidosis patients, 48 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients, and 29 healthy controls (HCs) were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Metabolomic profiling revealed distinct metabolic differences between the AL group and the controls (HCs and MM). Machine learning further identified that phytosphingosine and asymmetric dimethylarginine were significantly up-regulated in the AL group compared with HCs group, with area under curve (AUC) values of 0.990 and 0.904, sensitivity and specificity of (97%, 100%) and (88%, 93%), respectively. Compared with MM group, phytosphingosine was also significantly up-regulated in the AL group, with an AUC value of 0.779, sensitivity and specificity of (62%, 88%). Pathway analysis showed significant changes in starch and sucrose metabolism pathway, as well as pentose and glucuronate interconversions pathway between the AL and the controls. Metabolomics combined with machine learning identified phytosphingosine as a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of AL amyloidosis. Two metabolic pathways (starch and sucrose metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversions) may reflect the key pathological processes involved in the development and progression of AL amyloidosis. Further confirmation studies are warranted to validate its value in this field.
