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

Arsenic pollution in drinking water is a widespread public health problem, and it affects approximately 200 million people in over 70 countries. Many human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, are engendered by the malfunction of proteins involved in important biological processes and are elicited by protein misfolding and/or loss of protein quality control during translation. Arsenic exposure results in proteotoxic stress, though the detailed molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that arsenite interacts with ZNF598 protein in cells and exposure of human skin fibroblasts to arsenite results in significant decreases in the ubiquitination levels of lysine residues 138 and 139 in RPS10 and lysine 8 in RPS20, which are regulatory post-translational modifications important in ribosome-associated protein quality control. Furthermore, the arsenite-elicited diminutions in ubiquitinations of RPS10 and RPS20 gave rise to augmented read-through of poly(adenosine)-containing stalling sequences, which was abolished in ZNF598 knockout cells. Together, our study revealed a novel mechanism underlying the arsenic-induced proteostatic stress in human cells.
