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

Lysine acylations, a family of diverse protein modifications varying in acyl-group length, charge, and saturation, are linked to many important physiological processes. Only a small set of substrate-promiscuous lysine acetyltransferases and deacetylases (KDACs) install and remove this vast variety of modifications. Engineered KDACs that remove only one type of acylation would help to dissect the different contributions of distinct acylations. We developed a bacterial selection system for the directed evolution of KDACs and identified variants up to 400 times more selective for butyryl-lysine compared to crotonyl-lysine. Structural analyses revealed that the enzyme adopts different conformational states depending on the type of acylation of the bound peptide. We used the butyryl-selective KDAC variant to shift the cellular acylation spectrum towards increased lysine crotonylation. These new enzymes will help in dissecting the roles of different lysine acylations in cell physiology.
