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

Structural dynamics of Ras proteins contributes to their activity in signal transduction cascades. Directly targeting Ras proteins with small molecules may rely on the movement of a conserved structural motif, switch II. To understand Ras signaling and advance Ras-targeting strategies, experimental methods to measure Ras dynamics are required. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) to measure Ras dynamics by studying representatives from two branches of the Ras superfamily, Ras and Rho. A comparison of differential deuterium exchange between active (GMPPNP-bound) and inactive (GDP-bound) proteins revealed differences between the families, with the most notable differences occurring in the phosphate-binding loop and switch II. The P-loop exchange signature correlated with switch II dynamics observed in molecular dynamics simulations focused on measuring main-chain movement. HDX provides a means of evaluating Ras protein dynamics, which may be useful for understanding the mechanisms of Ras signaling, including activated signaling of pathologic mutants, and for targeting strategies that rely on protein dynamics.
