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

Many bacterial pathogens secrete virulence factors, also known as effector proteins, directly into host cells. These effectors suppress pro-inflammatory host signaling while promoting bacterial infection. A particularly interesting subset of effectors post-translationally modify host proteins using novel chemistry that is not otherwise found in the mammalian proteome, which we refer to as 'orthogonal post-translational modification' (oPTM). In this Review, we profile oPTM chemistry for effectors that catalyze serine/threonine acetylation, phosphate β-elimination, phosphoribosyl-linked ubiquitination, glutamine deamidation, phosphocholination, cysteine methylation, arginine N-acetylglucosaminylation, and glutamine ADP-ribosylation on host proteins. AMPylation, a PTM that could be considered orthogonal until only recently, is also discussed. We further highlight known cellular targets of oPTMs and their resulting biological consequences. Developing a complete understanding of oPTMs and the host cell processes they hijack will illuminate critical steps in the infection process, which can be harnessed for a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic, and synthetic applications.
