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 screened a library of structurally distinct acridine derivatives (19 compounds) for their ability to inhibit lysozyme amyloid aggregation in vitro. Studied acridines were divided into three structurally different groups depending on the molecule planarity and type of the side chain-planar acridines, spiroacridines and tetrahydroacridines. Thioflavine T fluorescence assay and transmission electron microscopy were used for monitoring the inhibiting activity of acridines. We have found that both the structure of the acridine side chains and molecule planarity influence their antiamyloidogenic activity. The planar acridines inhibited lysozyme aggregation effectively. Spiroacridines and tetrahydroacridines had no significant effect on the prevention of lysozyme fibrillization, probably resulting from the presence of the heterocyclic 5-membered ring and non-planarity of molecule. Moreover, in the presence of some tetrahydroacridines the enhanced extent of aggregation was detected. We identified the most active acridine derivates from studied compound library characterized by low micromolar IC50 values, which indicate their possible application for therapeutic purpose.
