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

Recently, a conceptually new mass analyzer was introduced by pairing a quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometer with an asymmetric track lossless (Astral™) analyzer. This system provides >200 Hz MS/MS scanning speed, high resolving power, sensitivity, and mass accuracy. Due to its speed, the instrument allows for a narrow-window data-independent acquisition (nDIA) strategy, representing a new technical milestone in peptide-centric proteomics. However, this new system may also be applied to other complex and clinically important proteomes, such as the human plasma N-glycoproteome. Here, we evaluate the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer for the in-depth analysis of the plasma N-glycoproteome and pioneer a dedicated nDIA workflow, termed "nGlycoDIA", on glycopeptide enriched and crude plasma. This strategy leads to the cumulative identification of over 3000 unique glycoPSMs derived from 181 glycoproteins in just 40 minutes and covers a dynamic range of 7 orders of magnitude for a glycopeptide enriched plasma sample. Notably, we detect several glycosylated cytokines that have reported plasma concentrations in the ng/L range. Furthermore, shortening the gradient to 10 min still allows for the detection of almost 1850 (95% CI [1840-1860]) unique glycoPSMs, indicating that high-throughput in-depth clinical plasma glycoproteomics may be within reach.
