Determination of Thermochemical Barriers in Multiple-Collision-Induced Dissociation Experiments on Gas-Phase Protein Complexes.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
In native ion mobility-mass spectrometry (nIM-MS) experiments, biomolecular ions are typically introduced into the gas phase from buffered solution while preserving their native structures, which can then be characterized using gas-phase methods. One of the most important gas-phase characterization techniques available with contemporary commercial mass spectrometers is collision-induced dissociation (CID), in which ions are heated by collisions with neutral buffer gas to cause dissociation, revealing subunit masses and often providing information about quaternary structure. The extent of CID observed is sensitive to instrument design, electric fields, and buffer gas identity and pressure, greatly complicating the comparison of results across instruments and conditions. In contrast, the ion's underlying potential energy surface is invariant to these conditions and can in principle be probed by accurately modeling ion temperature and dissociation kinetics. Here, the recently developed improved impulsive collision theory, implemented in the "IonSPA" software, is benchmarked against noncovalent dissociation of two prototypical protein complexes, holomyoglobin and Shiga toxin 1 subunit B pentamer, for which thermochemical dissociation barriers were previously reported. Their thermochemical gas-phase unfolding barriers are also determined with IonSPA to provide additional insight into the dissociation process. IonSPA is then used to investigate covalent CID of the well-studied ions ubiquitin and bradykinin, for which significant effects of temperature and initial ion structure are observed compared to previously reported experiments. Despite several simplifying approximations used in IonSPA, these studies illustrate the utility and robustness of IonSPA and pave the way for more quantitative characterization of higher-order native biomolecular structures with gas-phase CID and collision-induced unfolding (CIU).
