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 present structural models for three different amyloid fibril polymorphs prepared from amylin20-29 (sequence SNNFGAILSS) and amyloid-β25-35 (Aβ25-35) (sequence GSNKGAIIGLM) peptides. These models are based on the amide C=O bond and Ramachandran ψ-dihedral angle data from Raman spectroscopy, which were used as structural constraints to guide molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The resulting structural models indicate that the basic structural motif of amylin20-29 and Aβ25-35 fibrils is extended β-strands. Our data indicate that amylin20-29 forms both antiparallel and parallel β-sheet fibril polymorphs, while Aβ25-35 forms a parallel β-sheet fibril structure. Overall, our work lays the foundation for using Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with MD simulations to determine detailed molecular-level structural models of amyloid fibrils in a manner that complements gold-standard techniques, such as solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and cryogenic electron microscopy.
