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

Proteoforms are distinct molecular forms of proteins that act as building blocks of organisms, with post-translational modifications (PTMs) being one of the key changes that generate these variations. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based top-down proteomics (TDP) is the leading technology for proteoform identification due to its preservation of intact proteoforms for analysis, making it well-suited for comprehensive PTM characterization. A crucial step in TDP is searching MS data against a database of candidate proteoforms. To extend the reach of TDP to organisms with limited PTM annotations, we developed Proteoform-predictor, an open-source tool that integrates homology-based PTM site prediction into proteoform database creation. The new tool creates databases of proteoform candidates after registration of homologous sequences, transferring PTM sites from well-characterized species to those with less comprehensive proteomic data. Our tool features a user-friendly interface and intuitive workflow, making it accessible to a wide range of researchers. We demonstrate that Proteoform-predictor expands proteoform databases with tens of thousands of proteoforms for three bacterial strains by comparing them to the reference proteome of
