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

Theta glass electrospray emitters can rapidly mix solutions to investigate fast reactions that occur as quickly as 1 μs, but emitters with submicron tips have the unusual properties of desalting protein ions and affecting the observed abundances of some proteins as a result of protein-surface interactions. The role of protein physical properties on ion signal was investigated using 1.7 ± 0.1 μm and 269 ± 7 nm emitters and 100 mM aqueous ammonium acetate or ammonium bicarbonate solutions. Protein ion desalting occurs for both positive and negative ions. The signal of a mixture of proteins with the 269 nm tips is time-dependent and the order in which ions of each protein is observed is related to the expected strengths of the protein-surface interactions. These results indicate that it is not just the high surface-to-volume ratio that plays a role in protein adsorption and reduction or absence of initial ion signal, but the small diffusion distance and extremely low flow rates of the smaller emitters can lead to complete adsorption of some proteins and loss of signal until the adsorption sites are filled and the zeta potential is significantly reduced. After about 30 min, signals for a protein mixture from the two different size capillaries are similar. These results show the advantages of submicron emitters but also indicate that surface effects must be taken into account in experiments using such small tips or that coating the emitter surface to prevent adsorption should be considered.
