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

Ascorbate peroxidase (APEX) is a proximity labeling enzyme used for subcellular proteomics at high spatial and temporal resolution. However, toxicity of its substrate hydrogen peroxide and background labeling by endogenous peroxidases limit its use to in vitro studies of specific cell types. To minimize toxicity and reduce non-specific background labeling we establish a more versatile in situ APEX activation (iAPEX) workflow by combining APEX2 with a D-amino acid oxidase to locally produce hydrogen peroxide. Using iAPEX, we profile the proteomes of a cellular microdomain, the primary cilium, in cell lines not readily accessible to conventional APEX labeling and identify unknown ciliary proteins. Our study validates common ciliary proteins across two distinct cell lines, while observed differences may reflect heterogeneity in primary cilia proteomes. Furthermore, iAPEX proximity labeling is applicable to a range of cellular compartments including mitochondria and lipid droplets and can be employed in Xenopus laevis, which provides a proof-of-concept for future in vivo applications.
