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 reversible post-translational modification in which ubiquitin chains are conjugated to target proteins to modulate protein function. The type of ubiquitin chain determines the mode of protein regulation. It has been shown that ubiquitin chains are formed via one of seven Lys residues in ubiquitin, and several types of ubiquitin chains are found in cells. We identified a new type of linear ubiquitin chain linked through the N-terminal Met of ubiquitin and assembled by the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), which is specific for linear chains. The discovery of linear ubiquitin chains and LUBAC is considered as a paradigm shift in ubiquitin research because linear ubiquitination is exclusive to animals, despite the existence of ubiquitination throughout eukaryotic kingdoms. Linear ubiquitination plays a critical role in immune signaling and cell death regulation. Dysregulation of LUBAC-mediated linear ubiquitination underlies various human diseases, including autoinflammation, autoimmunity, infection, and malignant tumors. This review summarizes the current status of linear ubiquitination research.
