Proteomic Study Between Interstitial Channels Along Meridians and Adjacent Areas in Mini-Pigs.
Article in Biomolecules, 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
objectiveThis study explores the material basis and biological functions of meridian interstitial channels in mini-pigs proximal to the stomach meridian by analyzing differential proteomics between interstitial channels and adjacent non-interstitial channel tissues.
methodsLiquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) under data-dependent acquisition mode was employed to analyze and identify the proteome of subcutaneous connective tissues along the stomach meridian and adjacent tissues. SWATH MS
resultsGO annotation and KEGG pathway analysis revealed differences in molecular functions, biological processes, and metabolic pathways among differential proteins. Most downregulated proteins were enzyme functional proteins involved in amino acid metabolism (GOT1), adenosine nucleotide balance conversion (AK1), and calcium ion-binding processes (ANXA6). Most upregulated proteins were structural proteins in the extracellular matrix-collagen proteins (COL3A1, COL6A1, COL6A3, COL6A6, COL12A1, COL14A1) and proteoglycans (DCN, BGN, FMOD)-involved in influencing and regulating collagen fiber generation and arrangement. Intriguingly, almost all differential proteins were associated with gastrointestinal diseases, implying a pathological correlation of differential proteins in the stomach meridian interstitial channel.
conclusionsThe stomach meridian interstitial channels in mini-pigs show 72 differentially expressed proteins compared to adjacent tissues. These differences include the upregulation of structural proteins and downregulation of functional proteins, potentially forming the molecular biological basis for the structural and functional specificity of meridians.
