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

Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric serum protein associated with multiple systemic amyloid diseases. In these disorders, TTR aggregates in extracellular environments through a mechanism involving rate-limiting dissociation of the tetramer to monomers, which then misfold and aggregate into soluble oligomers and amyloid fibrils that induce toxicity in distal tissues. Using an assay established herein, we show that highly destabilized, aggregation-prone TTR variants are secreted as both native tetramers and non-native conformations that accumulate as high-molecular-weight oligomers. Pharmacologic chaperones that promote endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis of destabilized TTR variants increase their fraction secreted as a tetramer and reduce extracellular aggregate populations. In contrast, disrupting ER proteostasis reduces the fraction of destabilized TTR secreted as a tetramer and increases extracellular aggregates. These results identify ER proteostasis as a factor that can affect conformational integrity and thus toxic aggregation of secreted amyloidogenic proteins associated with the pathology of protein aggregation diseases.
