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

The aggregation of human amylin to form amyloid contributes to islet β-cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Studies of amyloid formation have been hindered by the low structural resolution or relatively modest time resolution of standard methods. Two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy, with its sensitivity to protein secondary structures and its intrinsic fast time resolution, is capable of capturing structural changes during the aggregation process. Moreover, isotope labeling enables the measurement of residue-specific information. The diagonal line widths of 2DIR spectra contain information about dynamics and structural heterogeneity of the system. We illustrate the power of a combined atomistic molecular dynamics simulation and theoretical and experimental 2DIR approach by analyzing the variation in diagonal line widths of individual amide I modes in a series of labeled samples of amylin amyloid fibrils. The theoretical and experimental 2DIR line widths suggest a "W" pattern, as a function of residue number. We show that large line widths result from substantial structural disorder and that this pattern is indicative of the stable secondary structure of the two β-sheet regions. This work provides a protocol for bridging MD simulation and 2DIR experiments for future aggregation studies.
