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

Background: The elevated health burden of thromboembolic events necessitates development of blood-based risk monitoring tools. Objectives: We explored the potential of mass spectrometry-based plasma proteomics to provide insights into underlying plasma protein signatures associated with treatment and occurrence of thromboembolic events. Methods: Utilizing a high-throughput, data-independent acquisition, discovery-based proteomics workflow, we analyzed 434 plasma proteomes from different groups of individuals with elevated risk of thromboembolic events, including individuals I) on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs; Results: Plasma protein levels were in agreement with conventional clinical laboratory parameters, including albumin and fibrinogen. Levels of vitamin K-dependent proteins inversely correlated with international normalized ratio. In the individual studies, we found decreased levels of vitamin K-dependent coagulation proteins in patients on VKAs, alterations in inflammatory signatures among CVST patients and a distinctive signature indicative of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, no protein signature associated with a thromboembolic event could be identified neither in individual nor combined studies. Conclusion: Although VKA treatment-specific and disease-specific signatures were captured, our study highlights that the challenges of discovering biomarkers in patients at risk of thromboembolic events lie in the heterogeneity of individual plasma profiles in relation to treatment and etiology.
