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

Uncontrolled amyloid-beta (Aβ) fibrillation leads to the deposition of neurotoxic amyloid plaques and is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Inhibiting Aβ monomer fibrillation and dissociation of the formed fibers is regarded as a promising therapeutic strategy. Here, amphiphilic polyphenylene dendrons (APDs) are demonstrated to interrupt Aβ assembly and reduce Aβ-cell interactions. Containing alternating negatively charged sulfonic acid and hydrophobic n-propyl peripheral groups, APDs bind to the secondary structure of the Aβ aggregates, inhibiting fibrillation and disassemble the already formed Aβ fibrils. APDs reveal vesicular cellular uptake in endosomes as well as cell compatibility for endothelial and neuronal cells, and significantly reduce Aβ-induced neuron cytotoxicity in vitro. Moreover, they are transported into the brain and successfully cross the blood-brain barrier after systemic application in mice, indicating their high potential to inhibit Aβ fibrillation in vivo, which can be beneficial for developing therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease.
