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

Current protein language models (LMs) accurately encode protein properties but have yet to represent post-translational modifications (PTMs), which are crucial for proteomic diversity and influence protein structure, function and interactions. To address this gap, we develop PTM-Mamba, a PTM-aware protein LM that integrates PTM tokens using bidirectional Mamba blocks fused with ESM-2 protein LM embeddings via a newly developed gating mechanism. PTM-Mamba uniquely models both wild-type and PTM sequences, enabling downstream tasks such as disease association and druggability prediction, PTM effect prediction on protein-protein interactions and zero-shot PTM discovery. In total, our work establishes PTM-Mamba as a foundational tool for PTM-aware protein modeling and design.
