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

Facile cleavage C-terminal to ornithine residues in gas phase peptides has been observed and termed the ornithine effect. Peptides containing internal or C-terminal ornithine residues, which are formed from deguanidination of arginine in solution, were fragmented to produce either a y-ion or water loss, respectively, and the complementary b-ion. The fragmentation patterns of several peptides containing arginine were compared to those of the ornithine analogues. Conversion of arginine to ornithine results in a decrease of the gas phase proton affinity of the residue, thereby increasing the mobility of the ionizing proton. This alteration allows the nucleophilic amine to facilitate a neighboring group reaction to induce a cleavage of the adjacent amide bond. The selective cleavage at the ornithine residue is proposed to result from the highly favorable generation of a six-membered lactam ring. The ornithine effect was compared with the well-known proline and aspartic acid effects in peptide fragmentation using angiotensin II, DRVYIHPF and the ornithine analogue, DOVYIHPF. Under conditions favorable to either the aspartic acid (i.e. singly protonated peptide) or proline effect (i.e. doubly protonated peptide), the ornithine effect was consistently observed to be the more favorable fragmentation pathway. The highly selective nature of the ornithine effect opens up the possibility for conversion of arginine to ornithine residues to induce selective cleavages in polypeptide ions. Such an approach may complement strategies that seek to generate non-selective cleavages of the related peptides.
