Mapping and Identification of Native Proteins of Developing Teeth in Mouse Mandibles.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Mass spectrometry imaging is a powerful tool of increasing utility due to its ability to spatially resolve molecular biomarkers directly from sectioned tissues. One hindrance to its universality is that no single protocol is sufficient for every tissue type, fixation, and pretreatment. Mineralized tissues are uniquely challenging as extensive decalcification protocols are necessary to achieve thin sections. In this study, we optimized a method to image tryptic peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry of decalcified, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse hemimandibles. Using a combination of on-tissue MS/MS and hydrogel extraction LC-MS/MS, peptides from the enamel, dentin, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, pulp, and other regions are identified and mapped. This breakthrough method provides a comprehensive approach to biomarker discovery in dental and craniofacial tissues which is highly relevant given that diseases originating from this region of the body are the most prevalent across all populations.
