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

To understand and treat immunology-related diseases, a comprehensive, unbiased characterization of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) peptide ligands is of key importance. Preceding the analysis by mass spectrometry, MHC class I peptide ligands are typically isolated by MHC immunoaffinity chromatography (MHC-IAC) and less often by mild acid elution (MAE). MAE may provide a cheap alternative to MHC-IAC for suspension cells but has been hampered by the high number of contaminating, MHC-unrelated peptides. Here, we optimized MAE, yielding MHC peptide ligand purities of more than 80%. When compared with MHC-IAC, obtained peptides were similar in numbers, identities, and to a large extent intensities, while the percentage of cysteinylated peptides was 5 times higher in MAE. The latter benefitted the discovery of MHC-allotype-specific, distinct cysteinylation frequencies at individual positions of MHC peptide ligands. MAE revealed many MHC ligands with unmodified, N-terminal cysteine residues which get lost in MHC-IAC workflows. The results support the idea that MAE might be particularly valuable for the high-confidence analysis of post-translational modifications by avoiding the exposure of the investigated peptides to enzymes and reactive molecules in the cell lysate. Our improved and carefully documented MAE workflow represents a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to MHC-IAC for suspension cells.
