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

Protein S-prenylation is a lipid modification that regulates membrane-protein and protein-protein interactions in cell signaling. Though sites of protein S-prenylation can be predicted based upon conserved C-terminal CaaX or CC/CXC motifs, biochemical detection of protein S-prenylation in cells is still challenging. Herein, we report an alkynyl-isoprenol chemical reporter (alk-FOH) as an efficient substrate for prenyltransferases in mammalian cells that enables sensitive detection of S-farnesylated and S-geranylgeranylated proteins using bioorthogonal ligation methods. Fluorescent detection alleviates the need to deplete cellular isoprenoids for biochemical analysis of S-prenylated proteins and enables robust characterization of S-prenylated proteins, such as effectors that are injected into host cells by bacterial pathogens. This alkynyl-prenylation reporter provides a sensitive tool for biochemical analysis and rapid profiling of prenylated proteins in cells.
