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-level statistical tests in proteomics, aimed at obtaining p-values, are conventionally made on protein abundances aggregated from peptide data. This integral approach overlooks peptide-level heterogeneity and ignores important information coded in individual peptide data, while protein p-values can also be obtained by Fisher's method of combining peptide p-values using chi-square statistics. Here, we test this latter approach across diverse chemical proteomics data sets based on assessments of protein expression, solubility, and protease accessibility. Using the top four peptides ranked by their p-values consistently outperformed protein-level analysis and avoided biases introduced by the inclusion of deviant peptides or the imputation of missing peptide values. Fisher's method provides a simple and robust strategy, improving identification of regulated/shifted proteins in diverse proteomics assays.
