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.

Abstract

Standard methods for body fluid identification typically rely on detection of the functional proteins specific to or enriched in them, such as hemoglobin in blood, alkaline phosphatase and PSA in semen, or α-amylase in saliva. While these markers can be relatively specific, the multiple methods used to identify them frequently rely on nonspecific chemical, enzymatic, or antibody reactions that usually require the structural integrity of the markers and are not confirmatory because other proteins or substances can also give positive test results. Recent advances in proteomics and mass spectrometry offer the ability to simultaneously detect multiple body fluid protein markers in a single, confirmatory test. Here, multiple markers for blood, saliva, and semen are identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS). Data demonstrate the ability to detect these body fluids at nanoliter to subnanoliter levels and to distinguish mixtures. Protein stability of mock samples assayed after 16 months showed no diminution of signal. Because multiple peptides from multiple protein markers are detected and effectively sequenced by MALDI MS/MS, the assay is confirmatory. As mass spectrometry detects whatever peptides are present in a sample, no a priori knowledge of an unknown stain is necessary to perform the test.
