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 product ion mass spectra resulting from collisional activation of doubly-protonated tryptic-type peptides Ala-Ala-Xaa-Ala-Ala-Ala-Arg have been determined for Xaa = Ala(A), Ser(S), Val(V), Thr(T), Ile(I), Phe(F), Tyr(Y), Sar, Met(M), Trp(W), Pro(P), and Gln(Q). The major fragmentation reaction involves cleavage of the second amide bond (counting from the N-terminus) except for Xaa = Ser and Thr where elimination of H(2)O from the [M + 2H](+2) ion forms the base peak. In general, the extent of cleavage of the second amide bond shows little dependence on the identity of Xaa and little dependence on whether the bond cleavage involves symmetrical bond cleavage to form a y(5)/b(2) ion pair or asymmetrically to form y (5) (+2) and a neutral b(2) species. Notable exceptions to this generalization occur for Xaa equal to Pro or Sar. For Xaa = Pro only cleavage of the second amide bond is observed, consistent with a pronounced proline effect, i.e., cleavage N-terminal to Pro. When Xaa = Sar considerably enhanced cleavage of the second amide bond also is observed, suggesting that at least part of the proline effect relates to the tertiary nature of the amide nitrogen. In the competition between symmetric and asymmetric bond cleavage an attempt to establish a linear free energy correlation in relating ln(y(5)(+2)/y(5)) to PA(H-Xaa-OH) did not lead to a reasonable correlation although the trend of increasing y(5)(+2)/y(5) ratio with increasing proton affinity of H-Xaa-OH was clear. Proline showed a unique behavior in giving a much higher y(5)(+2)/y(5) ratio than any of the other residues studied.
