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

Deposition of amyloid beta peptide in human brain in the form of senile plaques is a neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Levels of a phospholipid breakdown product, glycerophosphocholine (GPC), also increase in AD brain. The effect of GPC on amyloid beta(1-40) peptide (Abeta) aggregation in PBS buffer was investigated by circular dichroism and fluoresence spectroscopy; interactions of Abeta and GPC with the intact erythrocyte membrane was examined by fluoresence spectroscopy. Fluorescamine labeled Abeta studies indicate GPC enhances Abeta aggregation. CD spectroscopy reveals that Abeta in the presence of GPC adopts 14% more beta-sheet structure than does Abeta alone. Fluorescamine anisotropy measurements show that GPC and Abeta interact in the phospholipid head-group region of the erythrocyte membrane. In summary, both soluble Abeta and GPC insert into the phospholipid head-group region of the membrane where they interact leading to beta-sheet formation in soluble Abeta which enhances Abeta aggregation.
