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

Hydrogen deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique for the characterization of protein dynamics and protein interactions. Recent technological developments in the HDX-MS field, such as sub-zero LC separations, large-scale data analysis tools, and efficient protein digestion methods, have allowed for the application of HDX-MS to the analysis of multi protein systems in addition to pure protein analysis. Still, high-throughput HDX-MS analysis of complex samples is not widespread because the co-elution of peptides combined with increased peak complexity after labeling makes peak de-convolution extremely difficult. Here, for the first time, we evaluated and optimized long gradient subzero-temperature ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC) separation conditions for the HDX-MS analysis of complex protein samples such as E. coli cell lysate digest. Under the optimized conditions, we identified 1419 deuterated peptides from 320 proteins at -10 °C, which is about 3-fold more when compared with a 15-min gradient separation under the same conditions. Interestingly, our results suggested that the peptides eluted late in the gradient are well-protected by peptide-column interactions at -10 °C so that peptides eluted even at the end of the gradient maintain high levels of deuteration. Overall, our study suggests that the optimized, sub-zero, long-gradient UPLC separation is capable of characterizing thousands of peptides in a single HDX-MS analysis with low back-exchange rates. As a result, this technique holds great potential for characterizing complex samples such as cell lysates using HDX-MS.
