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

Small-molecule crosslinkers are invaluable for probing biomolecular interactions and for crosslinking mass spectrometry. Existing chemical crosslinkers target only a small selection of amino acids, while conventional photo-crosslinkers target almost all residues non-specifically, complicating data analysis. Herein, we report photocaged quinone methide (PQM)-based crosslinkers that target nine nucleophilic residues through Michael addition, including Gln, Arg, and Asn, which are inaccessible to existing chemical crosslinkers. PQM crosslinkers were used in vitro, in Escherichia coli, and in mammalian cells to crosslink dimeric proteins and endogenous membrane receptors. The heterobifunctional crosslinker NHQM could crosslink proteins to DNA, for which few crosslinkers exist. The photoactivatable reactivity of these crosslinkers and their ability to target multiple amino acids will enhance the use of chemical crosslinking for studies of protein-protein and protein-DNA networks and for structural biology.
