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

We have proposed that the cytotoxic action of Alzheimer's amyloid beta protein might be initiated by the interaction with the neuronal cell membrane, and subsequent formation of toxic ion channels. Consequently, A beta P toxicity can be explained on the basis of harmful ion fluxes across A beta P channels. The conformation of A beta P in membranes is not known. However, several models suggests that a transmembrane annular polymeric structure is responsible for the ion channel properties of the membrane-bound A beta P. To identify that portion of the A beta P molecule making up the conducting pore we have hypothesized that the region of the A beta P sequence in the vicinity of the hypothetical pore might interact with complementary regions in the adjacent A beta P subunits. We have further hypothesized that an interaction by a peptide segment would block A beta P conductance. To test this hypothesis we synthesized peptides that encompass the histidine dyad (H-H) previously hypothesized to line the pore. We report here that peptides designed to most closely match the proposed pore are, in fact, the most effective at blocking ion currents through the membrane-incorporated A beta P channel. As previously shown for Zn(2+) blockade, peptide blockade is also asymmetric. The results also provide additional evidence for the asymmetric insertion of the A beta P molecules into lipid membranes, and give support to the concept that rings of histidines line the entry to one side of the A beta P pore.
