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

In the absence of molecular biomarkers, the current diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is based on clinical assessment, neuroimaging, and detection of oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid. Early and rapid diagnosis using patient samples obtained by non-invasive methods would be a major advance in clinical management. We tested 5 different methods for preparation of the plasma proteome for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. These were as follows: (1) single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3), (2) iST and (3) ENRICH-iST of raw plasma, (4) SP3 of highly abundant-proteins depleted plasma (DEPL-SP3), and (5) SP3 of plasma extracellular vesicles (EV-SP3). DEPL-SP3 and EV-SP3 sample preparation workflows yielded the highest numbers of quantified plasma proteins. Using both methods, we analyzed the plasma proteome of 15 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients and 5 healthy controls. We found 54 and 35 regulated plasma proteins with DEPL-SP3 and EV-SP3 workflows, respectively. Among them, von Villebrand factor (VWF) was identified as a potential RRMS diagnostic biomarker. The use of sample preparation workflows for LC-MS/MS analysis that describe both the soluble and EV plasma proteomes might increase the likelihood of identifying new and robust RRMS biomarkers.
