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

PARP15 is a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that targets an unknown set of proteins as well as RNA. Its evolutionary relationship with PARP14 suggests roles in antiviral defence; its localization to stress granules points to functions in the regulation of translation. Here we show that the transferase domain of PARP15 dimerizes in solution; the formation of dimers is a prerequisite for catalytic activity and monomeric mutant variants of the domain are inactive. In cells, dimer-disrupting mutations abrogate catalytic activity and alter the subcellular localization of the full-length protein. Using biophysical methods, including X-ray crystallography and HDX-MS, we provide evidence for a regulatory mechanism by which dimerization enables correct target engagement rather than NAD
