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

Insoluble amyloid plagues are likely cytoprotective, but the cellular mechanism remains less known. To model β-amyloid we use a small peptide derivative to generate cytotoxic nanofibrils that cause the death of model neuron cells (i.e., PC12). The use of supramolecular interaction effectively converts the nanofibrils to nanoparticles that are innocuous to cells. This approach also removes the cytotoxicity of the fibrils to other mammalian cells (e.g., HeLa). Preliminary mechanistic study reveals that, in contrast to the fibrils, the particles promote the expression of TNFR2, a cell survival signal, and decrease the expression of TNFR1 and DR5, two extrinsic cell death receptors. As the first use of ligand-receptor interaction to abrogate the cytotoxicity of nanoscale assemblies of small molecules, this work illustrates an effective way to use supramolecular interaction to control the morphology of supramolecular assemblies for modulating their biological activity.
