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

Progress in understanding the molecular mechanism of self-assembly of amyloidogenic proteins and peptides requires knowledge about their structure in misfolded states. Structural studies of amyloid aggregates formed during the early aggregation stage are very limited. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) spectroscopy is widely used to analyze misfolded proteins and peptides, but the structural characterization of transiently formed misfolded dimers is limited by the lack of computational approaches that allow direct comparison with AFM experiments. Steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulation is capable of modeling force spectroscopy experiments, but the modeling requires pulling rates 10(7) times higher than those used in AFM experiments. In this study, we describe a computational all-atom Monte Carlo pulling (MCP) approach that enables us to model results at pulling rates comparable to those used in AFM pulling experiments. We tested the approach by modeling pulling experimental data for I91 from titin I-band (PDB ID: 1TIT) and ubiquitin (PDB ID: 1UBQ). We then used MCP to analyze AFM spectroscopy experiments that probed the interaction of the peptides [Q6C] Sup35 (6-13) and [H13C] Aβ (13-23). A comparison of experimental results with the computational data for the Sup35 dimer with out-of-register and in-register arrangements of β-sheets suggests that Sup35 monomers adopt an out-of-register arrangement in the dimer. A similar analysis performed for Aβ peptide demonstrates that the out-of-register antiparallel β-sheet arrangement of monomers also occurs in this peptide. Although the rupture of hydrogen bonds is the major contributor to dimer dissociation, the aromatic-aromatic interaction also contributes to the dimer rupture process.
