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

Ubiquitination, the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to proteins and other cellular substrates, is a dynamic post-translational modification that enables cells to rapidly respond to internal and external threats. Beyond its canonical role in targeting proteins for proteasomal degradation, ubiquitination orchestrates the assembly of signalling complexes that regulate innate and adaptive immune responses, modulates inflammatory pathways and directs selective autophagy to eliminate intracellular pathogens through lysosomal degradation. To persist and replicate within the host, viruses, bacteria and parasites have evolved diverse mechanisms to evade, manipulate or exploit the host's ubiquitin and autophagy machinery. Some pathogens subvert these systems to dampen immune surveillance, whereas others co-opt them to facilitate replication or dissemination. In this Review, we examine how ubiquitin and autophagy shape host-pathogen interactions, uncover common and pathogen-specific strategies of immune evasion, and discuss emerging therapeutic approaches that aim to leverage these interconnected pathways to enhance antimicrobial immunity.
