Monomeric a-synuclein (aS) inhibits amyloidogenesis of human prion protein (hPrP) by forming a stable aS-hPrP hetero-dimer.

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
Intermolecular interaction between hPrP and αS was investigated using high-speed atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance. We found that hPrP spontaneously gathered and naturally formed oligomers. Upon addition of monomer αS with a disordered conformation, poly-dispersive property of hPrP was lost, and hetero-dimer formation started quite coherently, and further oligomerization was not observed. Solution structure of hPrP-αS dimer was firstly characterized using hetero-nuclear NMR spectroscopy. In this hetero-dimeric complex, C-terminal helical region of hPrP was in the molten-globule like state, while specific sites including hot spot and C-terminal region of αS selectively interacted with hPrP. Thus αS may suppress amyloidogenesis of hPrP by trapping the hPrP intermediate by the formation of a stable hetero-dimer with hPrP.
