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

Misincorporation of amino acids in proteins expressed in Escherichia coli has been well documented but not in proteins expressed in mammalian cells under normal recombinant protein production conditions. Here we report for the first time that Ser can be incorporated at Asn positions in proteins expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. This misincorporation was discovered as a result of intact mass measurement, peptide mapping analysis, and tandem mass spectroscopy sequencing. Our analyses showed that the substitution was not related to specific protein molecules or DNA codons and was not site-specific. We believe that the incorporation of Ser at sites coded for Asn was due to mischarging of tRNA(Asn) rather than to codon misreading. The rationale for substitution of Asn by Ser and not by other amino acids is also discussed. Further investigation indicated that the substitution was due to the starvation for Asn in the cell culture medium and that the substitution could be limited by using the Asn-rich feed. These observations demonstrate that the quality of expressed proteins should be closely monitored when altering cell culture conditions.
