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

The novel protein acylation modifications have played a vital role in protein post-translational modifications. However, the functions and effects of the protein acylation modifications in lung adenocarcinoma are still uncertain. Currently, there is still a lack of global identification of acylation modifications in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Therefore, in this study, we detected 10 currently known acylation modifications in lung adenocarcinoma cells by Western blot. We found that the abundance of lysine lactylation (Kla), crotonylation (Kcr) and succinylation (Ksu) is likely higher. Subsequently, we identified the above three modifications together with phosphorylation by global mass spectrometry-based proteomics in lung adenocarcinoma cells. As a result, we got 3110 Kla sites in 1220 lactylated proteins, 16,653 Kcr sites in 4137 crotonylated proteins, 4475 Ksu sites in 1221 succinylated proteins, and 15,254 phosphorylation sites in 4139 phosphorylated proteins. Recent studies have highlighted the role of lactylation modifications in tumor cell resistance to radiation and chemotherapy by affecting homologous recombination. Our subsequent investigations have shown that key factors in the nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, such as Ku70 and Ku80, undergo lactylation modifications. Inhibition of lactylation impairs the efficiency of nonhomologous end joining. In conclusion, our results provide a proteome-wide database to study Kla, Kcr and Ksu and phosphorylation in lung adenocarcinoma, and new insights into the role of acylation modification in lung adenocarcinoma.
