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

Protein aggregation is the cause of many, often lethal, diseases, including the Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, and familial amyloidosis. Theoretical investigation of the mechanism of this process, including the structures of the oligomeric intermediates which are the most toxic, is difficult because of long time scale of aggregation. Coarse-grained models, which enable us to extend the simulation time scale by three or more orders of magnitude, are, therefore, of great advantage in such studies. In this chapter, we describe the application of the physics-based UNited RESidue (UNRES) force field developed in our laboratory to study protein aggregation, in both free simulations and simulations of aggregation propagation from an existing template (seed), and illustrate it with the examples of Aβ-peptide aggregation and Aβ-peptide-assisted aggregation of the peptides derived from the repeat domains of tau (TauRD).
