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

Ubiquitination is a fundamental post-translational modification that regulates almost all aspects of cellular signalling and is ultimately catalysed by the action of E3 ubiquitin ligases. The RING-between-RING (RBR) family of E3 ligases encompasses 14 distinct human enzymes that are defined by a unique domain organisation and catalytic mechanism. Detailed characterisation of several RBR ligase family members in the last decade has revealed common structural and mechanistic features. At the same time these studies have highlighted critical differences with respect to autoinhibition, activation and catalysis. Importantly, the majority of RBR E3 ligases remain poorly studied, and thus the extent of diversity within the family remains unknown. In this mini-review we outline the current understanding of the RBR E3 mechanism, structure and regulation with a particular focus on recent findings and developments that will shape the field in coming years.
