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 detailed study has been made of the b(5) and a(5) ions derived from the amides H-Ala-Ala-Ala-Ala-Pro-NH(2), H-Ala-Ala-Ala-Pro-Ala-NH(2), and H-Ala-Ala-Pro-Ala-Ala-NH(2). From quasi-MS(3) experiments it is shown that the product ion mass spectra of the three b(5) ions are essentially identical, indicating macrocyclization/reopening to produce a common mixture of intermediates prior to fragmentation. This is in agreement with numerous recent studies of sequence scrambling in b ions. By contrast, the product ion mass spectra for the a(5) ions show substantial differences, indicating significant differences in the mixture of structures undergoing fragmentation for these three species. The results are interpreted in terms of a mixture of classical substituted iminium ions as well as protonated C-terminal amides formed by cyclization/rearrangement as reported recently for a(4) ions (Bythell, Maître , Paizs, J . Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 14761-14779). Novel fragment ions observed upon fragmentation of the a(5) ions are protonated H-Pro-NH(2) and H-Pro-Ala-NH(2) which arise by fragmentation of the amides. The observation of these products provides strong experimental evidence for the cyclization/rearrangement reaction to form amides and shows that it also applies to a(5) ions.
