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

Mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) may form cyclic structures due to its greater instability from aberrant demetallization and oxidation of cysteine bonds. This cyclic structure may allow SOD1 to form ion channels on membranes such as the mitochondrial membrane, causing imbalances in the concentration of intracellular ions as a potential mechanism for the progressive neuron death involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Using docking programs within modeling software, models of mutant SOD1 dimers and eventually ring oligomers were constructed based on known descriptions of such structures in addition to information on the orientation of the models associated with a membrane. The resulting structure consists of a ring of four demetallated mutant SOD1 dimers with cross-linked disulfide bonds. Stability of the octamer model was supported by the molecular dynamics simulations. Further analysis of the octamer model indicated that its inner- and outer-pore diameters were stable, matching the dimensions of known SOD1 ion channels.
