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

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is vital for maintaining the outer membrane barrier in Gram-negative bacteria. LPS is also frequently obtained in complex with the inner membrane proteins after detergent purification. The question of whether or not LPS binding to inner membrane proteins not involved in outer membrane biogenesis reflects native lipid environments remains unclear. Here, we leverage the control of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance and packing parameter concepts to chemically tune detergents that can be used to qualitatively differentiate the degree to which proteins copurify with phospholipids (PLs) and/or LPS. Given the scalable properties of these detergents, we demonstrate a detergent fine-tuning that enables the facile investigation of intact proteins and their complexes with lipids by native mass spectrometry (nMS). We conclude that LPS, a lipid that is believed to be important for outer membranes, can also affect the activity of membrane proteins that are currently not assigned to be involved in outer membrane biogenesis. Our results deliver a scalable detergent chemistry for a streamlined biophysical characterization of protein-lipid interactions, provide a rationale for the high affinity of LPS-protein binding, and identify noncanonical associations between LPS and inner membrane proteins with relevance for membrane biology and antibiotic research.
