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 modification (PTM) plays a key role in the regulation of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), which participates in cell behaviors and pathological processes. Quantitative analysis of PTM-regulated LLPS is therefore essential for understanding cellular processes and discovering new disease targets. However, the membrane-free structure, dynamic characteristics, and distinct chemical microenvironment of biomolecular condensates pose challenges to traditional methods. In this contribution, an electrochemical method is proposed to analyze PTM-regulated LLPS for the first time by exploring its effect on electrochemical species. By taking dephosphorylation as a model, we demonstrate that the degree of LLPS initiated by dephosphorylation can be quantitatively assessed. Importantly, this label-free method does not require probe immobilization or signal tagging, making it easily extendable to various PTM-involved LLPS processes. Overall, this work provides a highly sensitive, simplified, and universal approach for the quantitative study of LLPS, with broad potential applications in physiological and pathological research studies.
