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

Chemoproteomic strategies have revolutionized proteome annotation by targeting nucleophilic and redox-active side chains. However, the primary amides of asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) have long lacked robust chemical tools for proteome-wide interrogation. We report a chemoselective palladium-mediated dehydration that converts Asn/Gln amides to nitriles under mild aqueous conditions. This transformation enables the first proteome-wide mapping of chemically addressable Asn/Gln sites in lysates and living cells. Leveraging this reactivity, we establish an inverse chemoproteomic framework in which reduced nitrile formation reports PTM-mediated protection of Asn/Gln sites, including those impacted by deamidation and N-glycosylation. This approach reveals sites masked by post-translational modifications (PTMs), specifically those associated with deamidation and N-glycosylation. In yeast, this framework expanded the known N-glycoproteome, identifying numerous candidates missed by traditional glycopeptide enrichment due to low abundance or noncanonical motifs. Furthermore, comparative profiling in
