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

Despite significant advancements in our understanding of ubiquitin-mediated signaling, the influence of the intracellular environment on the formation of transient ubiquitin-partner complexes remains poorly explored. In our work, we introduce macromolecular crowding as a first level of complexity toward the imitation of a cellular environment in the study of such interactions. Using NMR spectroscopy, we find that the stereospecific complex of ubiquitin and the ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA) is minimally perturbed by the crowding agent Ficoll. However, in addition to the primary canonical recognition patch on ubiquitin, secondary patches are identified, indicating that in cell-mimicking crowded solution, UBA contacts ubiquitin at multiple sites.
