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

Peptidylarginine deiminases are a family of calcium-activated enzymes with multifaceted roles in physiological and pathological processes, including in the central nervous system. Peptidylarginine deiminases cause post-translational deimination/citrullination, leading to changes in structure and function of a wide range of target proteins. Deimination can facilitate protein moonlighting, modify protein-protein interaction, cause protein dysfunction and induce inflammatory responses. Peptidylarginine deiminases also regulate the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles, which play important roles in cellular communication through transfer of extracellular vesicle-cargo, e.g., proteins and genetic material. Both peptidylarginine deiminases and extracellular vesicles are linked to a number of pathologies, including in the central nervous system, and their modulation with pharmacological peptidylarginine deiminase inhibitors have shown great promise in several in vitro and in vivo central nervous system disease models. Furthermore, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells have been assessed for their therapeutic application in central nervous system injury. As circulating extracellular vesicles can be used as non-invasive liquid biopsies, their specific cargo-signatures (including deiminated proteins and microRNAs) may allow for disease "fingerprinting" and aid early central nervous system disease diagnosis, inform disease progression and response to therapy. This mini-review discusses recent advances in the field of peptidylarginine deiminase and extracellular vesicle research in the central nervous system, focusing on several central nervous system acute injury, degeneration and cancer models.
