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

Glycosylation analysis of viral glycoproteins contributes significantly to vaccine design and development. Among other benefits, glycosylation analysis allows vaccine developers to assess the impact of construct design or producer cell line choices for vaccine production, and it is a key measure by which glycoproteins that are produced for use in vaccination can be compared to their native viral forms. Because many viral glycoproteins are multiply glycosylated, glycopeptide analysis is a preferrable approach for mapping the glycans, yet the analysis of glycopeptide data can be cumbersome and requires the expertise of an experienced analyst. In recent years, a commercial software product, Byonic, has been implemented in several instances to facilitate glycopeptide analysis on viral glycoproteins and other glycoproteomics data sets, and the purpose of the study herein is to determine the strengths and limitations of using this software, particularly in cases relevant to vaccine development. The glycopeptides from a recombinantly expressed trimeric S glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus were first analyzed using an expert-based analysis strategy; subsequently, analysis of the same data set was completed using Byonic. Careful assessment of instances where the two methods produced different results revealed that the glycopeptide assignments from Byonic contained more false positives than true positives, even when the data were assessed using a 1% false discovery rate. The work herein provides a roadmap for removing the spurious assignments that Byonic generates, and it provides an assessment of the opportunity cost for relying on automated assignments for glycopeptide data sets from viral glycoproteins.
