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

The misfolding and self-assembly of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides are one of the most important factors contributing to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aims to reveal the inhibition mechanisms of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and genistein on the conformational changes of Aβ42 peptides by using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results indicate that both EGCG and genistein have inhibitory effects on the conformational transition of Aβ42 peptide. EGCG and genistein reduce the ratio of β-sheet secondary structures of Aβ42 peptide while inducing random coil structures. In terms of hydrophobic interactions in the central hydrophobic core of Aβ42 peptide, the binding affinities of EGCG are significantly larger in comparison with that of genistein. Our findings illustrate the inhibition mechanisms of EGCG and genistein on the Aβ42 peptides and prove that EGCG is a very promising inhibitor in impeding the conformational change of Aβ42 peptide.
