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

Defining protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in their native environment is crucial to understanding protein structure and function. Cross-linking-mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has proven effective in capturing PPIs in living cells; however, the proteome coverage remains limited. Here, we have developed a robust in vivo XL-MS platform to facilitate in-depth PPI mapping by integrating a multifunctional MS-cleavable cross-linker with sample preparation strategies and high-resolution MS. The advancement of click chemistry-based enrichment significantly enhanced the detection of cross-linked peptides for proteome-wide analyses. This platform enabled the identification of 13,904 unique lysine-lysine linkages from in vivo cross-linked HEK 293 cells, permitting construction of the largest in vivo PPI network to date, comprising 6,439 interactions among 2,484 proteins. These results allowed us to generate a highly detailed yet panoramic portrait of human interactomes associated with diverse cellular pathways. The strategy presented here signifies a technological advancement for in vivo PPI mapping at the systems level and can be generalized for charting protein interaction landscapes in any organisms.
