A lattice-gas model for amyloid fibril aggregation.
Article in Europhysics letters, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A simple lattice-gas model, with two fundamental energy terms -elongation and nucleation effects, is proposed for understanding the mechanisms of amyloid fibril formation. Based on the analytical solution and Monte Carlo simulation of 1D system, we have thoroughly explored the dependence of mass concentration, number concentration of amyloid filaments and the lag-time on the initial protein concentration, the critical nucleus size, the strengths of nucleation and elongation effects, respectively. We also found that thickening process (self-association of filaments into multi-strand fibrils) is not essential for the modeling of amyloid filaments through simulations on 2D lattice. Compared with the kinetic model recently proposed by Knowles et al., highly quantitative consistency of two models in the calculation of mass fraction of filaments is found. Moreover our model can generate a better prediction on the number fraction, which is closer to experimental values when the elongation strength gets stronger.
