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

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a pancreatic hormone and one of a number of proteins that are involved in the formation of amyloid deposits in the islets of Langerhans of type II diabetes mellitus patients. Though IAPP-membrane interactions are known to play a major role in the fibrillation process, the mechanism and the peptide's conformational changes involved are still largely unknown. To obtain new insights into the conformational dynamics of IAPP upon its aggregation at membrane interfaces and to relate these structures to its fibril formation, we studied the association of IAPP at various interfaces including neutral as well as charged phospholipids using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The results obtained reveal that the interaction of human IAPP with the lipid interface is driven by the N-terminal part of the peptide and is largely driven by electrostatic interactions, as the protein is able to associate strongly with negatively charged lipids only. A two-step process is observed upon peptide binding, involving a conformational transition from a largely alpha-helical to a beta-sheet conformation, finally forming ordered fibrillar structures. As revealed by simulations of the infrared reflection absorption spectra and complementary atomic force microscopy studies, the fibrillar structures formed consist of parallel intermolecular beta-sheets lying parallel to the lipid interface but still contain a significant number of turn structures. We may assume that these dynamical conformational changes observed for negatively charged lipid interfaces play an important role as the first steps of IAPP-induced membrane damage in type II diabetes.
