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

A solution additive has been discovered that can be used to measure the number of basic sites in a peptide or protein using electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. Addition of millimolar amounts of perchloric acid (HClO(4)) to aqueous solutions that contain peptides or proteins results in the noncovalent adduction of HClO(4) molecules to the multiply charged ions formed by ESI. For 18 oligopeptides and proteins, ranging in molecular weight from 0.5 to 18.3 kDa, the sum of the number of protons plus maximum number of HClO(4) molecules adducted to the lower charge state ions is equal to the number of basic sites in the molecule. This method provides a rapid means of obtaining information about the composition of a peptide or protein and does not require high-resolution measurements or any instrumental or experimental modifications.
