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

Protein citrullination plays critical roles in biological processes such as immunity, gene regulation, and inflammation. Dysregulated citrullination is implicated in diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cancers, making it a potential biomarker and therapeutic target. To overcome current challenges in citrullination detection using immunodetection, we developed motif-based monoclonal antibodies against citrullination. We immunized rats with a pool of over 490,000 citrullinated peptides designed to represent common citrullination motifs in human tissue proteomes. Two monoclonal antibody clones were established and validated for sensitivity and specificity, using ELISA and western blot against in vitro citrullinated and homocitrullinated proteomes, as well as ionomycin-activated human neutrophils. Both clones demonstrated great sensitivity to diverse citrullinated proteins, robust discrimination against homocitrullination, and quantitative readout in biological samples. These antibodies provide powerful tools for studying global citrullination dynamics and hold promise for biomarker discovery and diagnostic applications in diseases involving peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) dysregulation.
