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

Protein encoding genes can undergo modifications posttranscriptionally and posttranslationally, yielding many different "proteoforms." The chemical diversity of such modifications is known to be important biomarkers of function within biological systems but is not completely understood. Top-down mass spectrometry is a valuable tool for the characterization of proteoforms, especially for histones that have complex combinations of posttranslational modifications (PTMs). In this chapter, we present a top-down liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry experimental and data analysis workflow for the identification of novel, unexpected modifications on histones. Proteoforms of interest are first discovered using the "open" modification search in TopPIC. Then target proteoforms are manually confirmed using the data visualization tool-LcMsSpectator, part of the Informed-Proteomics package. The workflow can be very helpful in targeted PTM analysis and can be expanded to other types of proteins for discovery of unknown PTMs.
