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

Human annexin A7, a calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein, governs calcium homeostasis, plasma membrane repair, apoptosis, and tumor progression. A7 contains an N-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD; 180 residues, ∼24% prolines) that determines its functional specificity. Using microscopy and dye-binding assays, we show that recombinant A7 and its isolated PRD spontaneously phase separate into spherical condensates, which subsequently transform into β-sheet-rich fibrils. We demonstrate that fibrillization of A7-PRD proceeds via primary nucleation and fibril-catalyzed secondary nucleation processes, as determined by chemical kinetics, providing a mechanistic basis for its amyloid assembly. This study confirms and highlights a subclass of eukaryotic PRDs prone to forming aggregates with important physiological and pathological implications.
