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

Citrullination is a post-translational modification of arginine that is catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs). Abnormal citrullination is observed in many autoimmune diseases and cancers. Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are hallmarks of RA and used as diagnostic markers for disease diagnosis. Even though citrullination is associated with many different pathologies, its role remains unclear due to the challenges associated with the detection of citrullinated proteins since the mass change is only 0.984 Da. Moreover, the functional effects of protein citrullination remain mostly unknown. Herein, we discuss a brief overview of PAD structure and function, recent advances in the detection of citrullinated proteins in complex biological systems and the functional consequences of protein citrullination.
