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

The unambiguous detection of noncovalent complexes (NCCs) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is still a far cry from being routine. For protein NCCs such as their quaternary structure it has been reported that signals of the intact complex are only obtained for the first or at most the first few laser exposures of a given sample area. This observation was called the first-shot phenomenon. In the present study, this first-shot phenomenon has been investigated for the hexameric protein complex allophycocyanine (APC) by two independent methods, MALDI-MS with a (nearly) pH-neutral matrix 6-aza-2-thiothymine (6-ATT) and by imaging the fluorescence of the complex in APC-6-ATT preparations by confocal laser scan microscopy (CLSM). The intact APC heterohexamer loses its visible fluorescence upon dissociation into its subunits. Both methods consistently show that intact APC complexes are precipitated at the matrix crystal surface, but dissociate upon incorporation into the matrix crystals.
