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

Many cellular functions necessitate structural assemblies of two or more associated proteins. The structural characterization of protein complexes using standard methods, such as X-ray crystallography, is challenging. Herein, we describe an orthogonal approach using hydrogen-deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDXMS), cross-linking mass spectrometry (CXMS), and disulfide trapping to map interactions within protein complexes. HDXMS measures changes in solvent accessibility and hydrogen bonding upon complex formation; a decrease in HDX rate could account for newly formed intermolecular or intramolecular interactions. To distinguish between inter- and intramolecular interactions, we use a CXMS method to determine the position of direct interface regions by trapping intermolecular residues in close proximity to various cross-linkers (e.g., disuccinimidyl adipate (DSA)) of different lengths and reactive groups. Both MS-based experiments are performed on high-resolution mass spectrometers (e.g., an Orbitrap Elite hybrid mass spectrometer). The physiological relevance of the interactions identified through HDXMS and CXMS is investigated by transiently co-expressing cysteine mutant pairs, one mutant on each protein at the discovered interfaces, in an appropriate cell line, such as HEK293. Disulfide-trapped protein complexes are formed within cells spontaneously or are facilitated by addition of oxidation reagents such as H
