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 recently reported a novel Aβ precursor protein mutation (A673V), corresponding to position 2 of Aβ1-42 peptides (Aβ1-42A2V), that caused an early onset AD-type dementia in a homozygous individual. The heterozygous relatives were not affected as an indication of autosomal recessive inheritance of this mutation. We investigated the folding kinetics of native unfolded Aβ1-42A2V in comparison with the wild type sequence (Aβ1-42WT) and the equimolar solution of both peptides (Aβ1-42MIX) to characterize the oligomers that are produced in the early phases. We carried out the structural characterization of the three preparations using electron and atomic force microscopy, fluorescence emission, and x-ray diffraction and described the soluble oligomer formation kinetics by laser light scattering. The mutation promoted a peculiar pathway of oligomerization, forming a connected system similar to a polymer network with hydrophobic residues on the external surface. Aβ1-42MIX generated assemblies very similar to those produced by Aβ1-42WT, albeit with slower kinetics due to the difficulties of Aβ1-42WT and Aβ1-42A2V peptides in building up of stable intermolecular interaction.
