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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that significantly compromises patient quality of life due to its high prevalence and risk of disability. While its etiology remains incompletely understood, increasing evidence highlights the critical involvement of epigenetic mechanisms, particularly post-translational modifications (PTMs), in RA pathogenesis. Advances in proteomics have identified various PTMs-including phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, lactylation, as well as citrullination and carbamylation-as key regulators of inflammation, immune response, and tissue remodeling in RA. Importantly, dysregulated PTMs may alter protein structure and function, thereby contributing to disease progression. This review systematically summarizes current knowledge on the roles and mechanisms of major PTMs in RA, with a special focus on the cross-talk between PTMs, their interaction with non-coding RNAs, and the emerging therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) targeting PTMs. These insights may provide novel perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of RA.
