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

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are common vectors for emerging gene therapies due to their lack of pathogenicity in humans. Here, we present our investigation of the viral proteins (i.e., VP1, VP2, and VP3) of the capsid of AAVs via top-down mass spectrometry (MS). These proteins, ranging from 59 to 81 kDa, were chromatographically separated using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and characterized in the gas-phase by high-resolution Orbitrap Fourier transform MS. Complementary ion dissociation methods were utilized to improve the overall sequence coverage. By reducing the overlap of product ion signals via proton transfer charge reduction on the Orbitrap Ascend BioPharma Tribrid mass spectrometer, the sequence coverage of each VP was significantly increased, reaching up to ∼40% in the case of VP3. These results showcase the improvements in the sequencing of proteins >30 kDa that can be achieved by manipulating product ions via gas-phase reactions to obtain easy-to-interpret fragmentation mass spectra.
