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

backgroundIt is crucial to investigate protein functions in specific subcellular environments. Cross-linking mass spectrometry is a powerful tool to map the direct interactome of proteins by identifying inter-protein cross-links. However, it is challenging to identify inter-protein cross-linked peptides due to their low abundance.

resultsWe chemically synthesize the cross-linkers ePDES1 and ePDES2 with an alkyne group and a compound with azide linked to a phosphate group to enrich for cross-linked peptides.

conclusionBased on the high-quality cross-linking spectra of ePDES1 and ePDES2, our methods achieve the identification of hundreds of directly interacting proteins or substrates of thioredoxins in the nucleus and mitochondria.
