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 modifications (PTMs) such as phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation critically expand proteome function by regulating protein structure and interactions. Hydropathy changes serve as a main driving force; however, a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of how their distinct chemical changes alter local protein hydropathy remains limited. To bridge this gap, we extend the Protocol for Assigning a Residue's Character on a Hydropathy (PARCH) scale, a residue-level hydropathy scale, to systematically evaluate PTM-induced physicochemical changes. By applying this method, we quantify the effect and magnitude of hydropathy shifts at modification sites and map how these perturbations influence the local protein environment. Our analysis reveals that phosphorylation exerts a strong, consistent hydrophilic effect, significantly increasing PARCH values due to the introduction of a large, charged phosphate group. In contrast,
