Subtyping of hepatitis C virus with high resolution mass spectrometry.
Article in Clinical mass spectrometry (Del Mar, Calif.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A proteotyping approach using high resolution mass spectrometry has been applied, for the first time, to subtype the hepatitis C virus based upon detection of one or more signature peptides derived from the E1 and E2 envelope glycoproteins. These signature peptides represent conserved peptide segments within these proteins for particular subtypes of the virus that are found to be unique in mass when compared with the theoretical masses for all peptide segments of translated HCV proteins within a specifically constructed database. The successful application of the approach to three different subtypes of the virus (i.e., 1a, 1b and 2b) is demonstrated for protein and whole virus proteolytic digests. The approach has the potential to replace existing PCR-based subtyping by offering a more direct and cost comparable strategy that is not challenged by mixed infection scenarios.
