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 is a versatile post-translational modification that regulates protein stability, localisation and signalling. By modifying a wide range of substrates, ubiquitination controls key physiological processes, including inflammatory responses, which are the focus of this article. Precise regulation of inflammatory signalling is essential, as insufficient activation compromises host defence while sustained signalling contributes to chronic inflammation, autoimmunity and degenerative disease. Within the ubiquitin system, E3 ligases confer substrate specificity and influence ubiquitin chain topology, thereby directing downstream protein fate and signalling outcomes. HECT family E3 ligases form transient E3~ubiquitin thioester intermediates that enable controlled ubiquitin transfer to target proteins. Through this activity, they regulate the strength and duration of inflammatory signalling pathways. In this review, we discuss HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases involved in inflammation and how their ubiquitin-modifying functions influence immune signalling and inflammatory disease progression.
