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

Proteomic and phenotypic cell sensitivity datasets are increasingly important for understanding chemoproteomics and the underlying drug mechanisms of action. Yet, integrating such heterogeneous datasets remains challenging due to inconsistent annotations, incompatible IDs, and variable data processing methods. Here, a major update to ProteomicsDB (https://www.proteomicsdb.org) is presented that combines over 1300 proteomic and 1000 transcriptomic profiles with phenotypic cell sensitivity data across >1500 human cancer cell lines and 1470 drugs. Harmonizing cell line and drug names and applying a standardized normalization and refitting pipeline for dose-response curves enables consistent, statistically robust analysis across studies. Three new graphical user interfaces support interactive exploration of cell sensitivity data, exploring the protein targets and dose-resolved changes in protein expression in the presence of a drug, and comparing the expression profiles of cell lines. With this update, ProteomicsDB is strengthening its future role as a central hub for proteomics and multi-omics, providing researchers with a unified framework to explore phenotypic cell sensitivity in combination with dose-resolved expression proteomics at the molecular level, supporting biomarker discovery, drug repurposing, and precision medicine applications.
