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

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) has emerged as a powerful biophysical tool to study protein thermodynamics, dynamics, and function. Despite its increasing use, effective implementation of HDX-MS requires knowledge of protein chemistry, folding, liquid chromatography, MS, and automation. Whereas method development for soluble globular proteins is often easily generalizable, HDX-MS on more complex systems is challenging. Published method sections are usually concise, and available step-by-step protocols typically only provide generalized procedures. Here, we offer tips for applying HDX-MS to three complex systems: integral membrane proteins, biomolecular condensates, and weak protein binders. These practices have yielded high sequence coverage and high-quality data, allowing for free energy quantification and, importantly, mechanistic understanding of protein functions. We believe that sharing our methodologies will help others apply and develop HDX-MS methods for these and similar systems.
