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

Determination of a protein's N-terminal sequence can be important for the characterization of protein processing. To increase the confidence of protein N-terminal identification, chemical derivatization of the N-terminal amine group by (N-Succinimidyloxycarbonylmethyl)tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium bromide (TMPP) or dimethyl labeling followed by mass spectrometric analysis is commonly performed. Using this approach, proteins can be separated by SDS-PAGE, and the protein N-terminus of interest is labeled by TMPP or dimethyl in-gel before tryptic digestion and LC-MS analysis. The N-terminus of a protein can thus be easily identified because the N-terminal tryptic peptides are preferentially labeled. Peptides with N-terminal derivatization produce a better fragmentation pattern during tandem mass spectrometric analysis, which significantly facilitates sequencing of these peptides.
