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

1. Several intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play principal role in the neurodegenerative processes of various types. Among them, alpha-synuclein is involved in Parkinson's disease, prion protein in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, and tau protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. Neuronal damage in AD is accompanied by the presence of tau protein fibrils composed of paired helical filaments (PHF). 2. Tau protein represents a typical IDP. IDPs do not exhibit any stable secondary structure in the free form, but they are able to fold after binding to targets and contain regions with large propensity to adopt a defined type of secondary structure. Binding-folding event at tau protein leading to PHF generation is believed to happen in the course of tauopathies. 3. Detailed molecular topology of PHF formation is unknown. There are evidences about the cross-beta structure in PHF core; however the precise arrangement of the tau polypeptide chain is unclear. In this review we summarize current attempts at in vitro PHF reconstruction and the development of methods for PHF structure determination. The emphasis is put on the monoclonal antibodies used as structural molecular probes for research on the role of IDPs in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
