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

γ-Secretase is a membrane protein complex that proteolyzes within the transmembrane domain of >100 substrates, including those derived from the amyloid precursor protein and the Notch family of cell surface receptors. The nine-transmembrane presenilin is the catalytic component of this aspartyl protease complex that carries out hydrolysis in the lipid bilayer. Advances in cryoelectron microscopy have led to the elucidation of the structure of the γ-secretase complex at atomic resolution. Recently, structures of the enzyme have been determined with bound APP- or Notch-derived substrates, providing insight into the nature of substrate recognition and processing. Molecular dynamics simulations of substrate-bound enzymes suggest dynamic mechanisms of intramembrane proteolysis. Structures of the enzyme bound to small-molecule inhibitors and modulators have also been solved, setting the stage for rational structure-based drug discovery targeting γ-secretase.
