Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry (IM-MS) for Structural Biology: Insights Gained by Measuring Mass, Charge, and Collision Cross Section.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 93 papers.
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.
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
The investigation of macromolecular biomolecules with ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) techniques has provided substantial insights into the field of structural biology over the past two decades. An IM-MS workflow applied to a given target analyte provides mass, charge, and conformation, and all three of these can be used to discern structural information. While mass and charge are determined in mass spectrometry (MS), it is the addition of ion mobility that enables the separation of isomeric and isobaric ions and the direct elucidation of conformation, which has reaped huge benefits for structural biology. In this review, where we focus on the analysis of proteins and their complexes, we outline the typical features of an IM-MS experiment from the preparation of samples, the creation of ions, and their separation in different mobility and mass spectrometers. We describe the interpretation of ion mobility data in terms of protein conformation and how the data can be compared with data from other sources with the use of computational tools. The benefit of coupling mobility analysis to activation via collisions with gas or surfaces or photons photoactivation is detailed with reference to recent examples. And finally, we focus on insights afforded by IM-MS experiments when applied to the study of conformationally dynamic and intrinsically disordered proteins.
