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

Native capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (nCZE-MS) is a useful analytical tool for studying protein complexes. However, the extent to which the protein complexes maintain their native structural topology in nCZE-MS compared to traditional native MS (nMS) is still not fully characterized. In this technical note, we contribute to this topic by coupling nCZE-MS with surface-induced dissociation (SID) for two well-studied protein complexes (streptavidin and human recombinant C-reactive protein). SID cleaves the weakest interface of a given complex, making it a powerful diagnostic tool for identifying perturbations of protein complex structures based on fragmentation patterns. The SID fragmentation patterns of the two protein complexes from nCZE-MS under normal and charge-reducing conditions show a high similarity index compared to those from direct infusion. Additionally, nCZE-MS shows the potential to separate different conformations or different proton distributions that have subtle differences. Although only two cases are shown, the results suggest that nCZE-MS can maintain the native-like structural topology of protein complexes.
