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 present an analysis of the contributions of various secondary structure elements of the amyloid β-protein to the two-dimensional far ultraviolet (2DFUV) signal of an amyloid fibril model. The contributions of the turns and the β-strands are affected by the geometry of the backbone peptide amide π → π* transition dipoles, the backbone interamide coupling in the excited state, and the exciton delocalization. These contributions are clearly distinguishable in the xyxy-xyyx pulse polarization configuration. The differences are attributed to the smaller splitting of the exciton energies and the larger fluctuations of the geometry of the peptide amide π → π* transition dipoles at the turns, while making the 2DFUV signal sensitive to the secondary structure. This signal may be used to determine the proportion of turns and β-strands.
