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 such as phosphorylation and acetylation are often minor structural modifications that can have profound effects on protein structure and thus broaden protein functions. Nevertheless, studying these effects directly is often out of reach because no general chemistry exists to introduce small modifications selectively; either a large, stable linker structure is selectively installed on protein residues, or a small substituent is introduced at the risk of low selectivity due to the use of reactive, indiscriminate molecules. Here we report a C-H functionalization reaction of tyrosine residues to access peptides and proteins modified by small structural changes including single-atom substitutions. A rationally designed selenoxide introduces a versatile selenonium linchpin featuring a C
