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

Quantitative measurements produced by tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments typically contain a large proportion of missing values. Missing values hinder reproducibility, reduce statistical power, and make it difficult to compare across samples or experiments. Although many methods exist for imputing missing values, in practice, the most commonly used methods are among the worst performing. Furthermore, previous benchmarking studies have focused on relatively simple measurements of error such as the mean-squared error between imputed and held-out values. Here we evaluate the performance of commonly used imputation methods using three practical, "downstream-centric" criteria. These criteria measure the ability to identify differentially expressed peptides, generate new quantitative peptides, and improve the peptide lower limit of quantification. Our evaluation comprises several experiment types and acquisition strategies, including data-dependent and data-independent acquisition. We find that imputation does not necessarily improve the ability to identify differentially expressed peptides but that it can identify new quantitative peptides and improve the peptide lower limit of quantification. We find that MissForest is generally the best performing method per our downstream-centric criteria. We also argue that existing imputation methods do not properly account for the variance of peptide quantifications and highlight the need for methods that do.
