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

Protein S-fatty acylation or S-palmitoylation is a reversible and regulated lipid post-translational modification (PTM) in eukaryotes. Loss-of-function mutagenesis studies have suggested important roles for protein S-fatty acylation in many fundamental biological pathways in development, neurobiology, and immunity that are also associated with human diseases. However, the hydrophobicity and reversibility of this PTM have made site-specific gain-of-function studies more challenging to investigate. In this review, we summarize recent chemical biology approaches and methods that have enabled site-specific gain-of-function studies of protein S-fatty acylation and the investigation of the mechanisms and significance of this PTM in eukaryotic biology.
