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

Arginylation installed by arginyltransferase 1 (ATE1) features an addition of arginine (Arg) to the reactive amino acids (e.g., Glu and Asp) at the protein N-terminus or side chain. Systemic removal of arginylation after ATE1 knockout (KO) in mouse models resulted in heart defects leading to embryonic lethality. The biological importance of arginylation has motivated the discovery of arginylation sites on proteins using bottom-up approaches. While bottom-up proteomics is powerful in localizing peptide arginylation, it lacks the ability to quantify proteoforms at the protein level. Here we developed a top-down proteomics workflow for characterizing and quantifying calreticulin (CALR) arginylation. To generate fully arginylated CALR (R-CALR), we have inserted an R residue after the signaling peptide (AA1-17). Upon overexpression in ATE1 KO cells, CALR and R-CALR were purified by affinity purification and analyzed by LCMS in positive mode. Both proteoforms showed charge states ranging from 27 to 68 with charge 58 as the most intense charge state. Their MS2 spectra from electron-activated dissociation (EAD) showed preferential fragmentation at the protein
