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

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been recognized as a useful tool for top-down proteomics. However, its performance for deep top-down proteomics is still dramatically lower than widely used reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS/MS. We present an orthogonal multidimensional separation platform that couples size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and RPLC based protein prefractionation to CZE-MS/MS for deep top-down proteomics of Escherichia coli. The platform generated high peak capacity (∼4000) for separation of intact proteins, leading to the identification of 5700 proteoforms from the Escherichia coli proteome. The data represents a 10-fold improvement in the number of proteoform identifications compared with previous CZE-MS/MS studies and represents the largest bacterial top-down proteomics data set reported to date. The performance of the CZE-MS/MS based platform is comparable to the state-of-the-art RPLC-MS/MS based systems in terms of the number of proteoform identifications and the instrument time.
