Influence of Post-Translational Modifications on Protein Identification in Database Searches.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Comprehensive analysis of post-translation modifications (PTMs) is an important mission of proteomics. However, the consideration of PTMs increases the search space and may therefore impair the efficiency of protein identification. Using thousands of proteomic searches, we investigated the practical aspects of considering multiple PTMs in Byonic searches for the maximization of protein and peptide hits. The inclusion of all PTMs, which occur with at least 2% frequency in the sample, has an advantageous effect on protein and peptide identification. A linear relationship was established between the number of considered PTMs and the number of reliably identified peptides and proteins. Even though they handle multiple modifications less efficiently, the results of MASCOT (using the Percolator function) and Andromeda (the search engine included in MaxQuant) became comparable to those of Byonic, in the case of a few PTMs.
