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 deposition of proteins in the form of amyloid fibrils is closely associated with several serious diseases. The events that trigger the conversion from soluble functional proteins into insoluble amyloid are not fully understood. Many proteins that are not associated with disease can form amyloid with similar structural characteristics as the disease-associated fibrils, which highlights the potential risk of cross-seeding of disease amyloid by amyloid-like structures encountered in our surrounding. Of particular interest are common food proteins that can be transformed into amyloid under conditions similar to cooking. We here investigate cross-seeding of amyloid-β (Aβ), a peptide known to form amyloid during the development of Alzheimer's disease, by 16 types of amyloid fibrils derived from food proteins or peptides. Kinetic studies using thioflavin T fluorescence as output show that none of the investigated protein fibrils accelerates the aggregation of Aβ. In at least two cases (hen egg lysozyme and oat protein isolate) we observe retardation of the aggregation, which appears to originate from interactions between the food protein seeds and Aβ in aggregated form. The results support the view that food-derived amyloid is not a risk factor for development of Aβ pathology and Alzheimer's disease.
