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

Two protocols of protein extraction from Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) microalgae to study their proteome by mass spectrometry (MS) are here presented. The first is based on an aqueous buffer solution of Tris-HCl and the second on cold acetone. The identification of proteins was carried out by a bottom-up approach, which involves enzymatic digestion of extracted proteins followed by either matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization with time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS or liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) and Fourier-transform tandem MS. While MALDI-TOF MS allowed for a fast peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) check yet identifying less than 20 proteins in the extracted samples, the data-dependent acquisitions (DDA) mode of reversed-phase (RP) LC-ESI tandem FTMS/MS separations allowed us to recognize more than one hundred proteins by searching into dedicated spectral libraries. The application of MALDI-TOF MS analysis was found, however, of great support for preliminary investigations of cyanobacteria samples before proceeding with the RPLC-ESI-MS/MS DDA investigation, which definitively allows for a qualitative proteome analysis also of minor spirulina proteins in processed foodstuffs. Although the protein content in spirulina can be influenced by cultivation and environmental conditions, e.g., light intensity, climate, and water/air quality, here the qualitative chemical profiles of the examined samples were characterized by similar composition in high-quality proteins as phycocyanins and phycoerythrins.
