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

Direct protein sequencing technologies with improved sensitivity and throughput are still needed. Here, we propose an alternative method for peptide sequencing based on enzymatic cleavage and host-guest interaction-assisted nanopore sensing. We serendipitously discovered that the identity of any proteinogenic amino acid in a particular position of a phenylalanine-containing peptide could be determined via current blockage during translocation of the peptide through α-hemolysin nanopores in the presence of cucurbit[7]uril. Building upon this, we further present a proof-of-concept demonstration of peptide sequencing by sequentially cleaving off amino acids from C terminus of a peptide with carboxypeptidases, and then determining their identities and sequence with a peptide probe in nanopore. With future optimization, our results point to a different way of nanopore-based protein sequencing.
