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

In eukaryotes, the posttranslational modifier ubiquitin is used to regulate the amounts, interactions, or activities of proteins in diverse pathways and signaling networks. Its effects are mediated by monoubiquitin or polyubiquitin chains of varying geometries. We describe the design, validation, and application of a series of avidity-based probes against the ubiquitylated forms of the DNA replication clamp, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), in budding yeast. Directed against total ubiquitylated PCNA or specifically K63-polyubiquitylated PCNA, the probes are tunable in their activities and can be used either as biosensors or as inhibitors of the PCNA-dependent DNA damage bypass pathway. Used in live cells, the probes revealed the timing of PCNA ubiquitylation during damage bypass and a particular susceptibility of the ribosomal DNA locus to the activation of the pathway. Our approach is applicable to a wide range of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins, thus representing a generalizable strategy for the design of biosensors for specific (poly)ubiquitylated forms of individual substrates.
