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

At present, the precise physiological role of neurodegenerative disease-related amyloidogenic proteins (APs), including α-synuclein in Parkinson's disease and β-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease, remains unclear. Because of similar adaptability of both human brain neurons and yeast cells to diverse environmental stressors, we previously proposed that the concept of evolvability in yeast prion could also be applied to APs in human brain. However, the mechanistic relevance of evolvability to neurodegenerative disorders is elusive. Therefore, our objective is to discuss our hypothesis that evolvability and neurodegenerative disease may represent a form of antagonistic pleiotropy derived from the aggregates of APs. Importantly, such a perspective may provide an outlook of the entire course of sporadic neurodegenerative diseases.
