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

Advancement in our knowledge of deubiquitinases (DUBs) and their biological functions requires biochemical tools permitting interrogation of DUB activities under physiologically relevant conditions. Activity-based DUB probes (DUB ABPs) have been widely used in investigating the function and activity of DUBs. However, most ubiquitin (Ub)-based DUB ABPs are not cell-permeable, limiting their utility to purified proteins and cell lysates. Lysis of cells usually leads to dilution of the cytoplasm and disruption of the normal cellular organization, which may alter the activity of many DUBs and DUB complexes. Here, we report a new class of cell-permeable DUB ABPs that enable intracellular DUB profiling. We used a semisynthetic approach to generate modular ubiquitin-based DUB probes containing a reactive warhead for covalent trapping of DUBs with a catalytic cysteine. We employed cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), particualrly cyclic polyarginine (cR
