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

Lysine post-translational modifications (PTMs) play crucial roles in regulating protein structures, interactions, and cellular signaling. Precise study of PTM functions requires homogeneous proteins with modifications at defined sites; however, selective chemical modification is challenging because multiple lysines undergo similar chemistry yet exhibit variable reactivity depending on their local environments. Early chemical strategies exploited intrinsic reactivity differences, which are effective for exposed lysines but limited for low-reactivity or sterically hindered sites. In contrast, enzymes achieve high selectivity through substrate recognition and spatial organization. Inspired by this enzymatic principle, chemical approaches have been developed, including ligand-directed chemistry, proximity-enabled modification, and on-demand generation of highly reactive electrophiles. Recent advances in ligand-guided catalysis now enable regioselective and catalytic installation of biorelevant, authentic PTMs, providing a platform for programmable lysine modification and synthetic epigenetics.
