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

Using all-atom molecular dynamics, we study the temperature-induced dissociation of Abeta monomers from the fibril protofilament. To accelerate conformational sampling, simulations are performed at elevated temperatures and peptide concentrations. By computing free energy disconnectivity graphs we mapped the free energy landscape of monomers on the surface of Abeta fibril. We found that Abeta monomers sample diverse sets of low free energy states with different degrees of association with the fibril. Some of these states have residual amounts of fibril interactions, whereas others lack fibril-like content. Generally, Abeta monomers with partially formed fibril-like interactions have the lowest free energies, but their backbone conformations may differ considerably from those in the fibril interior. Overall, Abeta amyloid protofilaments seem to be highly resistant to thermal dissociation. Monomer dissociation from the fibril edge proceeds via multiple stages and pathways. Our simulation findings are discussed in the context of recent experimental results.
