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

Amyloid is traditionally viewed as a consequence of protein misfolding and aggregation and is most notorious for its association with debilitating and chronic human diseases. However, a growing list of examples of "functional amyloid" challenges this bad reputation and indicates that many organisms can employ the biophysical properties of amyloid for their benefit. Because of developments in the structural studies of amyloid, a clearer picture is emerging about what defines amyloid structure and the properties that unite functional and pathological amyloids. Here, we review various amyloids and place them within the framework of the latest structural models.
