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

Detecting strain-specific barcodes with mass spectrometry can facilitate the screening of genetically engineered bacterial libraries. Here, we introduce intact protein barcoding, a method to measure protein-based library barcodes and metabolites using flow injection mass spectrometry (FI-MS). Protein barcodes are based on ubiquitin with N-terminal tags of six amino acids. We demonstrate that FI-MS detects intact ubiquitin proteins and identifies the mass of N-terminal barcodes. In the same analysis, we measured relative concentrations of primary metabolites. We constructed six ubiquitin-barcoded CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) strains targeting metabolic enzymes and analyzed their metabolic profiles and ubiquitin barcodes. FI-MS detected barcodes and distinct metabolome changes in CRISPRi-targeted pathways. We demonstrate the scalability of intact protein barcoding by measuring 132 ubiquitin barcodes in microtiter plates. These results show that intact protein barcoding enables fast and simultaneous detection of library barcodes and intracellular metabolites, opening up new possibilities for mass spectrometry-based barcoding.
