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

N-terminal acetylation is one of the most common co- and post-translational modifications of the eukaryotic proteome and regulates numerous aspects of cellular physiology, such as protein folding, localization and turnover. In particular α-synuclein, whose dyshomeostasis has been tied to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, is completely Nα-acetylated in nervous tissue. In this work, building on previous reports, we develop and characterize a bacterial N-terminal acetylation system based on the expression of the yeast N-terminal acetyltransferase B (NatB) complex under the control of the PBAD (L-arabinose-inducible) promoter. We show its functionality and the ability to completely Nα-acetylate our model substrate α-synuclein both upon induction of the construct with L-arabinose and also by only relying on the constitutive expression of the NatB genes.
