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

We recently discovered JAL-TA9 (YKGSGFRMI), a short hydrolytic peptide that we termed a Catalytide. The catalytic center of JAL-TA9 was modeled using MM2 and MMFF94 parameters and identified as GSGFR. Additionally, a structure-activity relationship study showed that GSGYR cleaved Aβ11-29. Here, we developed a novel Catalytide in silico. Molecular dynamics simulations of GSGYR and RYGSG using MM2 and MMFF94 parameters suggested that both peptides may form catalytic triads and oxyanion holes. The hydrolytic potency of RYGSG was five times higher than that of GSGYR. Moreover, both peptides showed three common cleavage positions for Aβ11-29; namely, L17-V18, V18-F19, and E22-D23. The aggregation ratio analyzed by the thioflavin-T assay correlated well with proteolytic activity, suggesting that the aggregation of Aβ11-29 was suppressed by the cleavage reaction. Docking simulations with the carbonyl carbon of L17 or the carbonyl carbon of E22 in Aβ11-29 were conducted using the secondary structures of GSGYR and RYGSG. The distance between the hydroxyl group of serine and the carbonyl carbon of the two cleavage sites proved that RYGSG was closer to Aβ11-29 than to GSGYR. This study demonstrated that Catalytides are useful for understanding structure-activity relationships.
