Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 show strong binding with the amyloidogenic region of G555F mutant of Fibrinogen A alpha-chain associated with renal amyloidosis: proposed possible therapeutic intervention.
Article in Molecular diversity, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
G555F mutant of Fibrinogen A alpha-chain (FGA) is reported to be associated with kidney amyloidosis. In the current study, we have modelled the G555F mutant and examined the mutation's effect on the structural and functional level. We have also docked Vitamin C and D3 on the mutant's amyloidogenic region to identify if these vitamins can bind amyloidogenic regions. Further, we analyzed if they could prevent or modulate amyloid formation by stopping critical interactions in amyloidogenic regions in FGA. We used the wild type FGA model protein as a control. Our docking and molecular dynamics simulation results indicate stronger Vitamin D3 binding than Vitamin C to the amyloidogenic region of the mutant protein. The RMSD, radius of gyration, and RMSF values were higher for the G555F mutant than the FGA wild type protein. Overall, the results support these vitamins' potential as a therapeutic and anti-amyloidogenic agent for FGA renal amyloidosis.
