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

In establishing the sources of data variability within sedimentation velocity analysis in the analytical ultracentrifuge and their relative importance, recent studies have demonstrated that alignment of the sample cells to the centre of rotation is the most significant contributing factor to overall variability, particularly for the characterisation of low levels of protein aggregation. Accurate mechanical and optical alignment tools have been recently designed. In this study, we (1) confirm the effect of misalignment observed by others on the estimated amounts of bovine serum albumin (BSA) monomer and dimer, and the sedimentation coefficient value for the BSA dimer; and (2) demonstrate the high performance of a mechanical alignment tool and the usefulness of a simple and complementary enhanced manual alignment protocol which should be useful for situations where these tools are not available.
