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

The light chain of the major histocompatibility complex class 1 (MHC-1), the protein beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m), has amyloidogenic properties that arise only upon its dissociation from the MHC-1. Here hydrogen/deuterium exchange electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HDX-ESI-MS) has been used to compare the solution dynamics of beta(2)m in its MHC-1 bound state compared with those of beta(2)m as a free monomer. The capability of tandem mass spectrometry to dissociate the MHC-1 into its individual constituents in the gas phase following deuterium incorporation in solution has permitted the direct observation of the exchange properties of MHC-1 bound beta(2)m for the first time. The HDX-ESI-MS data show clearly that the H-->D exchange of MHC-1 bound beta(2)m follows EX2 kinetics and that about 20 protons remain protected from exchange after 17 days. Free from the MHC-1, monomeric beta(2)m exhibits significantly different HDX behavior, which encompasses both EX1 and EX2 kinetics. The EX2 kinetics indicate a tenfold increase in the rate of exchange compared with MHC-1 bound beta(2)m, with just 10 protons remaining protected from EX2 exchange and therefore exchanging only via the EX1 mechanism. The EX1 kinetics observed for unbound beta(2)m are consistent with unfolding of its exchange-protected core with a t(1/2) of 68 min (pH 7, 37 degrees C). Thus, upon dissociation from the stabilizing influence of the MHC-1, free beta(2)m becomes highly dynamic and undergoes unfolding transitions that result in an aggregation-competent protein.
