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 Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is a comprehensive resource for protein sequence and annotation data (UniProt Consortium, 2023). The UniProt website receives about 800,000 unique visitors per month and is the primary means to access UniProt. Along with various datasets that you can search, UniProt provides four main tools. These are the "BLAST" tool for sequence similarity searching, the "Align" tool for multiple sequence alignment, the "Peptide Search" tool for retrieving proteins containing a short peptide sequence, and the "Retrieve/ID Mapping" tool for using a list of identifiers to retrieve UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) proteins and to convert database identifiers from UniProt to external databases or vice versa. This article provides four basic protocols and seven alternate protocols for using UniProt tools. © 2023 The Authors. Current Protocols published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
