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

ISGylation is the post-translational modification of protein substrates covalently conjugated with the ubiquitin-like protein, interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15). Although initially linked to antiviral immunity, recent evidence highlights important roles for ISGylation in various biological processes, such as maintaining genomic stability, promoting tumourigenesis, and being involved in other pathological conditions. In this review, we examine the molecular mechanisms underlying ISGylation, its interplay with other post-translational modifications, and its involvement in diverse biological and pathological processes. We propose future research directions to advance the field and discuss how ISGylation might be harnessed to ensure human health, particularly genome instability-associated diseases.
