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 molecular mechanisms by which different proteins assemble into highly ordered fibrillar deposits and cause disease remain topics of debate. Human amylin (also known as islet amyloid polypeptide/hIAPP) is found in vivo as amyloid deposits in the pancreatic islets of sufferers of type II diabetes mellitus, and its self-aggregation is thought to be a pathogenic factor in disease and to contribute to the failure of islet transplants. Here, electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (ESI-IMS-MS) has been used to monitor oligomer formation from IAPP. The detection, identification and characterization of oligomers from both human and rat amylin (rIAPP) are described. Oligomers up to and including hexamers have been detected for both peptides. From ESI-IMS-MS derived collision cross sections (CCS), these species are shown to be elongated in conformation. Collision-induced dissociation (CID-MS/MS) revealed differences in the gas-phase stability of the oligomers formed from hIAPP and rIAPP, which may contribute to their differences in amyloid propensity. Using ESI-IMS-MS, the mode of inhibition of amyloid formation from hIAPP using small molecules or co-incubation with rIAPP was also investigated. We show that the polyphenolic compounds epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and silibinin bind to specific conformers within a dynamic ensemble of hIAPP monomers, altering the progress of oligomerization and fibril assembly. Hetero-oligomer formation also occurs with rIAPP but leads only to inefficient inhibition. The results indicate that although different small molecules can be effective inhibitors of hIAPP self-assembly, their modes of action are distinct and can be distinguished using ESI-IMS-MS.
