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 aggregation pathway of transthyretin (TTR) proceeds through rate-limiting dissociation of the tetramer (a dimer of dimers) and partial misfolding of the resulting monomer, which assembles into amyloid structures through a downhill polymerization mechanism. The structural features of the aggregation-prone monomeric intermediate are poorly understood. NMR relaxation dispersion offers a unique opportunity to characterize amyloidogenic intermediates when they exchange on favorable timescales with NMR-visible ground states. Here we use NMR to characterize the structure and conformational dynamics of the monomeric F87E mutant of human TTR. Chemical shifts derived from analysis of multinuclear relaxation dispersion data provide insights into the structure of a low-lying excited state that exchanges with the ground state of the F87E monomer at a rate of 3800 s
