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

For many chaperones, a propensity to self-assemble correlates with function. The highly efficient amyloid suppressing chaperone DNAJB6b has been reported to oligomerize. A key question is whether the DNAJB6b self-assemblies or their subunits are active units in the suppression of amyloid formation. Here, we address this question using a nonmodified chaperone. We use the well-established aggregation kinetics of the amyloid β 42 peptide (Aβ42) as a readout of the amyloid suppression efficiency. The experimental setup relies on the slow dissociation of DNAJB6b assemblies upon dilution. We find that the dissociation of the chaperone assemblies correlates with its ability to suppress fibril formation. Thus, the data show that the subunits of DNAJB6b assemblies rather than the large oligomers are the active forms in amyloid suppression. Our results provide insights into how DNAJB6b operates as a chaperone and illustrate the importance of established assembly equilibria and dissociation rates for the design of kinetic experiments.
