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

Hemoglobin (Hb) (α(2)β(2)) is a tetrameric protein-protein complex. Collision cross sections, hydrogen exchange levels, and tandem mass spectrometry have been used to investigate the properties of gas-phase monomer, dimer, and tetramer ions of adult human hemoglobin (Hb A, α(2)β(2)), and two variant hemoglobins: fetal hemoglobin (Hb F, α(2)γ(2)) and sickle hemoglobin (Hb S, α(2)β(2), E6V[β]). All three proteins give similar mass spectra. Monomers of Hb S and Hb F have similar cross sections, ca. 10% greater than those of Hb A. Cross sections of dimer ions of Hb S are 11% greater than those of Hb A and 6% greater than those of Hb F. Tetramers of Hb S are 13% larger than tetramers of Hb A or Hb F. Monomers and dimers of all three Hb have similar hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) levels. Tetramers of Hb S exchange 16% more hydrogens than Hb A and Hb F. In tandem mass spectrometry, monomers of Hb S and Hb F require ca. 10% greater internal energy for heme loss than Hb A. Dimers (+11) of Hb A and Hb S dissociate to monomers with asymmetrical charge division; dimers of Hb F (+11) dissociate with nearly equal charge division. Tetramer ions dissociate to monomers and trimers, unlike solution Hb, which dissociates to dimers. The most stable dimers are from Hb S; the most stable tetramers from Hb F. The results with Hb S show that a single mutation in the β chain can change the physical properties of this gas-phase protein-protein complex.
