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

Polyphosphate (polyP), an extremely simple polyanion, has long been known to be involved in a variety of different cellular processes, ranging from stress resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence in bacteria to bone mineralization, blood clotting, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in mammalian organisms. Our laboratory recently discovered a completely unexpected role of polyP as a stabilizing scaffold for β-sheet-containing protein-folding intermediates. This realization led us to investigate the effects of polyP on amyloidogenic processes and the novel concept that polyP might play a role in neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we will summarize recent results that show that polyP is a physiological modifier that accelerates amyloid fiber formation, alters fiber morphology, and protects cells against amyloid toxicity. We will review the current knowledge on the distribution, levels, and roles of polyP in the mammalian brain, and discuss potential mechanisms by which polyP might ameliorate amyloid toxicity.
