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

Dopamine (DA) is one of the most important neurotransmitters. Its oxidation leads to electrophilic quinone, which covalently modifies nucleophilic residues in proteins, resulting in 'dopamination'. Individual dopaminated proteins have been studied, most of which were functionally damaged by dopamination. Here, we developed a quantitative chemoproteomic strategy to site-specifically measure proteins' dopamination. More than 6,000 dopamination sites were quantified. Half-maximal inhibitory concentration values for 63 hypersensitive sites were measured. Among them, hypersensitive dopamination of two cysteines in microtubule-associated protein Tau was biochemically validated and functionally characterized to prevent Tau's amyloid fibrillation and promote Tau-mediated assembly of microtubules. In addition, endogenous dopamination of Tau in mouse brain was detected through targeted mass spectrometry analysis. Our study not only provides a global portrait of dopamination but also discovers a protective role of DA in regulating the function of Tau, which will enhance our understanding of the physiological and pathological functions of DA in human brain.
