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 fibrils share a structural motif consisting of highly ordered β-sheets aligned perpendicular to the fibril axis ( 1, 2) . At each fibril end, β-sheets provide a template for recruiting and converting monomers ( 3) . Various amyloid fibrils often occur in the same individual, yet whether distinct protein aggregates aid or inhibit the assembly of heterologous proteins is unclear. In prion disease, different amyloid-like prion aggregate structures, or strains, are thought to be the basis of disparate disease phenotypes in the same species expressing identical prion protein sequences ( 4-7) . Here we focus on the interactions reported to occur when two pre-existing amyloids or two distinct prion strains occur together in the central nervous system.
