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

At low pH in solutions of 50% methanol, proteins form expanded denatured states (the "H" state). In 90% methanol, proteins form expanded helical denatured states with artificial alpha-helices (the "H(c)" state). Gas-phase ions of ubiquitin, cytochrome c, apomyoglobin, and native and disulfide-reduced beta-lactoglobulin were formed by electrospray ionization (ESI) of the proteins from the H and H(c) states in solution. Both states in solution produce the same charge states in ESI. The conformations of the ions were studied with cross section measurements and gas-phase H/D exchange experiments. The cross sections show that the ions retain considerable folded structure. For a given protein and given charge state, ions produced from the H and H(c) states showed the same cross sections (within approximately 1%). Ions of cytochrome c, apomyoglobin, and native and reduced beta-lactoglobulin of a given charge state showed no differences in H/D exchange level when produced from the H or H(c) state. However, ubiquitin ions produced from the H(c) state consistently exchange fewer ( approximately 13%) hydrogens than ions produced from the H state, suggesting that in this case the gas-phase protein ions retain some memory of their solution conformations.
