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

Unlike for DNA and RNA, accurate and high-throughput sequencing methods for proteins are lacking, hindering the utility of proteomics in applications where the sequences are unknown including variant calling, neoepitope identification, and metaproteomics. We introduce Spectralis, a de novo peptide sequencing method for tandem mass spectrometry. Spectralis leverages several innovations including a convolutional neural network layer connecting peaks in spectra spaced by amino acid masses, proposing fragment ion series classification as a pivotal task for de novo peptide sequencing, and a peptide-spectrum confidence score. On spectra for which database search provided a ground truth, Spectralis surpassed 40% sensitivity at 90% precision, nearly doubling state-of-the-art sensitivity. Application to unidentified spectra confirmed its superiority and showcased its applicability to variant calling. Altogether, these algorithmic innovations and the substantial sensitivity increase in the high-precision range constitute an important step toward broadly applicable peptide sequencing.
