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

rationaleProtein phosphorylation plays a central role in regulating cellular signaling, and its dysregulation is closely linked to diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics allows comprehensive mapping of phosphorylation; however, detecting low-abundance and poor ionization phosphopeptides remains a challenge. High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) offers orthogonal gas-phase fractionation, enhancing phosphopeptide detection. However, FAIMS and conventional non-FAIMS (noFAIMS) analyses often identify partially overlapping yet complementary subsets of phosphopeptides. This suggests that integrating both approaches could significantly increase the depth of phosphoproteomic analysis.

methodsPhosphopeptide samples were analyzed using a Vanquish Neo UHPLC system coupled to an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer. Using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) on a panel of 200 synthetic phosphopeptides, we assessed ionization efficiencies under noFAIMS conditions and at six different FAIMS compensation voltages (CVs). The integrated noFAIMS and FAIMS approach was further evaluated using enriched phosphopeptide samples from HEK293 and HeLa cells, analyzed by data-dependent acquisition (DDA).

resultsThe integrated noFAIMS-FAIMS approach resulted in a substantial increase in phosphopeptide identifications (14.9%-46.5%) compared with either the noFAIMS or FAIMS method alone. This integrated approach also exhibited high reproducibility across technical and biological replicates. Importantly, the integrated approach expanded the coverage of key signaling pathways such as EGF/EGFR, VEGFA-VEGFR2, and PI3K-AKT, by capturing phosphoproteins identified exclusively in either dataset.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that an integrated noFAIMS-FAIMS approach significantly enhances phosphoproteomic depth and quantification by leveraging the complementary advantages of each method. By capturing unique phosphopeptides from each analysis, this strategy can be a practical and efficient phosphoproteomic approach, providing deeper insights into cellular signaling pathways.
