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

Under inflammatory conditions, the ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 targets proteins for rapid and irreversible degradation by the 26S proteasome. FAT10 is degraded along with its substrates and in this process, the loose folding of FAT10 and adapter protein NUB1L have long been suspected to play crucial roles. We report here the investigation of the N-domain of FAT10 and its interaction with NUB1L by magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. A stretch of residues that is intrinsically disordered when the N-domain of FAT10 is in its ubiquitin-like β-grasp fold, becomes part of a regularly structured loop and an intermolecular β-sheet upon binding to NUB1L. The rest of the N-domain is now disordered, with exception of a series of anchor residues and the N-terminus. We propose that, in preparation of degradation by the proteasome, NUB1L stabilizes N-FAT10 in an unfolded state, acting as a holdase. The ability of FAT10 to interact in folded as well as unfolded form is essential for its role in inflammation-linked proteostasis.
