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

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) dynamically regulate cellular processes. Lysine undergoes a range of acylations, including malonylation, succinylation (SucK) and glutarylation (GluK). These PTMs increase the size of the lysine side chain and reverse its charge from +1 to -1 under physiological conditions, probably impacting protein structure and function. To understand the functional roles of these PTMs, homogeneously modified proteins are required for biochemical studies. While the site-specific encoding of PTMs and their mimics via genetic code expansion has facilitated the characterization of the functional roles of many PTMs, negatively charged lysine acylations have defied this approach. Here we describe site-specific incorporation of SucK and GluK into proteins via temporarily masking their negative charge through thioester derivatives. We prepare succinylated and glutarylated bacterial and mammalian target proteins, including non-refoldable multidomain proteins. This allows us to study how succinylation and glutarylation impact enzymatic activity of metabolic enzymes and regulate protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions in biological processes from replication to ubiquitin signalling.
