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

Aggregation and the formation of oligomeric intermediates of amyloid-β (Aβ) at the membrane interface of neuronal cells are implicated in the cellular toxicity and pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Small molecule compounds have been shown to suppress amyloid aggregation and cellular toxicity, but often the presence of a lipid membrane negates their activity. A high-throughput screen of 1800 small molecules was performed to search for membrane active inhibitors, and 21 primary hits were discovered. Through the use of fluorescence-based assays, transmission electron microscopy, and dot blot assays, the initial 21 primary hits were narrowed down to five lead compounds. Nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism experiments were used for further confirmation of amyloid inhibition at the membrane interface and to obtain insights into the secondary structure of amyloid-β, while size exclusion chromatography was used to characterize the size of Aβ species. Lastly, dye-leakage assays allowed us to understand how the addition of the five lead compounds affected amyloid-β's ability to permeate the lipid bilayer. These results provide insights into small molecules that stabilize small amyloid species in the presence of membranes for the development of tool compounds for deeper investigations of these transient species.
