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-tandem mass spectrometry (CZE-MS/MS) has been well recognized for bottom-up proteomics. It has approached 4000-8000 protein identifications (IDs) from a human cell line, mouse brains, or Xenopus embryos via coupling with liquid chromatography (LC) prefractionation. However, at least 500 μg of complex proteome digests were required for the LC/CZE-MS/MS studies. This requirement of a large amount of initial peptide material impedes the application of CZE-MS/MS for deep bottom-up proteomics of mass-limited samples. In this work, we coupled microscale reversed-phase LC (μRPLC)-based peptide prefractionation to dynamic pH-junction-based CZE-MS/MS for deep bottom-up proteomics of the MCF7 breast cancer cell proteome starting with only 5 μg of peptides. The dynamic pH-junction-based CZE enabled a 500 nL sample injection from as low as a 1.5 μL peptide sample, using up to 33% of the available peptide material for an analysis. Two kinds of μRPLC prefractionation were investigated, C18 ZipTip and nanoflow RPLC. C18 ZipTip/CZE-MS/MS identified 4453 proteins from 5 μg of the MCF7 proteome digest and showed good qualitative and quantitative reproducibility. Nanoflow RPLC/CZE-MS/MS produced over 7500 protein IDs and nearly 60 000 peptide IDs from the 5 μg of MCF7 proteome digest. The nanoflow RPLC/CZE-MS/MS platform reduced the required amount of complex proteome digests for LC/CZE-MS/MS-based deep bottom-up proteomics by 2 orders of magnitude. Our work provides the proteomics community with a powerful tool for deep and highly sensitive proteomics.
