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

An understanding of the mechanism accompanying functional conformational changes associated with protein activation has important implications for drug design. Here we describe a powerful method, conformational changes and dynamics using stable-isotope labeling and mass spectrometry (CDSiL-MS), which involves chemical labeling by isotope-coded forms of N-ethylmaleimide or succinic anhydride to site-specifically label the side chains of cysteines or lysines, respectively, in native proteins. Subsequent MS analysis allows the quantitative monitoring of reactivity of residues as a function of time, providing a measurement of the labeling kinetics and thereby enabling elucidation of conformational changes of proteins. We demonstrate the utility of this method using a model G protein-coupled receptor, the β2-adrenergic receptor, including experiments that characterize the functional conformational changes associated with activation of distinct signaling pathways induced by different β-adrenoceptor ligands. The procedure requires 5 d, and it can easily be adapted to systems in which soluble and detergent-solubilized membrane protein targets, which undergo function-dependent conformational changes, can be interrogated structurally to allow drug screening.
