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

ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitylation regulate various cellular processes, with the complexity of their interplay becoming increasingly clear, as illustrated by ADP-ribosylation-dependent ubiquitylation mediated by Legionella. Biochemical studies have reported ester-linked ubiquitylation of ADP-ribose by DELTEX ubiquitin ligases, yet the modification sites on cellular targets remain unknown. Here, our search for interactors of RNF114 revealed DNA-damage-induced serine mono-ADP-ribosylation as a cellular target for ester-linked ubiquitylation. By developing proteomics strategies tailored to the chemical features of this composite modification, combined with an enrichment method using the zfDi19 and ubiquitin interaction motif domain (ZUD) of RNF114 and specific chemical elution, we identified ADP-ribosyl-linked serine ubiquitylation sites in cells, including on histones and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1. Engineering ZUD into a modular reagent enabled the detection of this dual modification by immunoblotting. We establish ADP-ribosyl-ubiquitylation as an endogenous serine post-translational modification and propose that our multifaceted, tailored methodology will uncover its widespread occurrence, along with other conjugation chemistries, across diverse signaling pathways.
