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 posttranslational modification in eukaryotes that plays a significant role in the infection of intracellular microbial pathogens, such as Legionella pneumophila. While the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) is coated with ubiquitin (Ub), it avoids recognition by autophagy adaptors. Here, we report that the Sdc and Sde families of effectors work together to build ubiquitinated species around the LCV. The Sdc effectors catalyze canonical polyubiquitination directly on host targets or on phosphoribosyl-Ub conjugated to host targets by Sde. Remarkably, Ub moieties within poly-Ub chains are either modified with a phosphoribosyl group by PDE domain-containing effectors or covalently attached to other host substrates via Sde-mediated phosphoribosyl-ubiquitination. Furthermore, these modifications prevent the recognition by Ub adaptors and therefore exclude host autophagy adaptors from the LCV. In this work, we shed light on the nature of the poly-ubiquitinated species present at the surface of the LCV and provide a molecular mechanism for the avoidance of autophagy adaptors by the Ub-decorated LCV.
