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

Membrane proteins perform numerous critical functions in the cell, making many of them primary drug targets. However, their preference for a lipid environment makes them challenging to study using established solution-based methods. Here, we show that peptidiscs, a recently developed membrane mimetic, provide an ideal platform to study membrane proteins and their interactions with mass photometry (MP) in detergent-free conditions. The mass resolution for membrane protein complexes is similar to that achievable with soluble proteins owing to the low carrier heterogeneity. Using the ABC transporter BtuCD, we show that MP can quantify interactions between peptidisc-reconstituted membrane protein receptors and their soluble protein binding partners. Using the BAM complex, we further show that MP reveals interactions between a membrane protein receptor and a bactericidal antibody. Our results highlight the utility of peptidiscs for membrane protein characterization in detergent-free solution and provide a rapid and powerful platform for quantifying membrane protein interactions.
