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

The blockade current that develops when a protein translocates across a thin membrane through a sub-nanometer diameter pore informs with extreme sensitivity on the sequence of amino acids that constitute the protein. The current blockade signals measured during the translocation are called a nanospectrum of the protein. Whereas mass spectrometry (MS) is still the dominant technology for protein identification, it suffers limitations. In proteome-wide studies, MS identifies proteins by database search but often fails to provide high protein sequence coverage. It is also not very sensitive requiring about a femtomole for protein identification. Compared with MS, a sub-nanometer diameter pore (i.e. a sub-nanopore) directly reads the amino acids constituting a single protein molecule, but efficient computational tools are still required for processing and interpreting nanospectra. Here, we delineate computational methods for processing sub-nanopore nanospectra and predicting theoretical nanospectra from protein sequences, which are essential for protein identification.
