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 analysis of recombinant proteins in complex solutions is often accomplished with tag-specific antibodies in western blots. Recently, I introduced an antibody-free alternative wherein tagged proteins are visualized directly within polyacrylamide gels. For this, I used the protein ligase Connectase to selectively attach fluorophores to target proteins possessing an N-terminal recognition sequence. In this study, I extend this methodology to encompass the detection and quantification of C-terminally tagged proteins. Similar to the N-terminal labeling method, this adapted procedure offers increased speed, heightened sensitivity, and an improved signal-to-noise ratio when compared to western blots. It also eliminates the need for sample-specific optimization, enables more consistent and precise quantifications, and uses freely available reagents. This study broadens the applicability of in-gel fluorescence detection methods and thereby facilitates research on recombinant proteins.
