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

Protein-nucleic acid (protein-Nu) interactions are crucial for many cellular processes and biological functions. Crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has emerged as a powerful method for identifying these interactions. However, the analysis of protein-Nu XL-MS data requires an integrated workflow from raw data processing to results inspection and validation. Existing workflows for protein-Nu XL-MS often require switching between tools and considerable manual processing. Here, we introduce NuXLApp, an interactive web-based application for data processing and results visualization in protein-Nu XL-MS studies. NuXLApp integrates the protein-Nu crosslink search engine "NuXL," machine-learning models for peptide property prediction, and interactive result visualization within a reproducible workflow. It enables rapid validation of false discovery rate-controlled crosslink spectrum match-level identifications and facilitates collaboration and intuitive exploration of experimental results. In addition, NuXLApp generates a spectral library from identified protein-Nu crosslinks to enable quantitative analysis of crosslinks using data-independent acquisition (DIA). NuXLApp supports discovery-driven identification of protein-nucleic acid crosslinks and enables DIA-based follow-up experiments for their quantitative analysis. NuXLApp is open-source and available via the OpenMS WebApps platform at https://nuxl.webapps.openms.de/.
