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

Microproteins, encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs or sORFs) of less than 100 amino acids, play critical roles in gene expression, cellular signaling and metabolism, and hold potential as therapeutic targets. Despite recent genome annotation efforts, many smORFs remain unannotated, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of microprotein structure and function. Efficient microprotein identification is essential for functional studies and improving genome annotation, but remains a technical challenge. Here, we describe a proteogenomic approach that combines microprotein enrichment with mass spectrometry to identify both annotated and novel smORFs. Using this approach, we have successfully identified and validated several novel smORFs in the fully annotated yeast genome. While yeast serves as a model system, this protocol is adaptable to samples from different species, providing a robust framework for microprotein discovery.
