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

Serotonin, also known as 5-HT, is a classical neurotransmitter produced both in the nervous system and in non-nervous system. Its involvement in various fundamental physiological processes and pathogenic conditions is significant, as it binds to a diverse array of functionally distinct receptors. Apart from binding to 5-HT receptors and activating downstream signaling cascades, recent studies have revealed a novel posttranslational modification named serotonylation, where serotonin is re-taken up by serotonin transporter and is covalently attached to target proteins ranging from histone proteins to nonhistone proteins. Transglutaminases (TGMs), especially TGM2, catalyze serotonylation through the transfer of serotonin to the glutamine residues of target proteins. This review aims to investigate recent progresses in understanding the involvement of serotonylation in physiological and pathological processes. In addition, this review emphasizes how to target serotonylation as a therapeutic strategy for disease management.
