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

Arctic (E22G) mutation in amyloid-β (Aβ enhances Aβ40 fibril accumulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Unlike sporadic AD, familial AD (FAD) patients with the mutation exhibit more Aβ40 in the plaque core. However, structural details of E22G Aβ40 fibrils remain elusive, hindering therapeutic progress. Here, we determine a distinctive W-shaped parallel β-sheet structure through co-analysis by cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) of in-vitro-prepared E22G Aβ40 fibrils. The E22G Aβ40 fibrils displays typical amyloid features in cotton-wool plaques in the FAD, such as low thioflavin-T fluorescence and a less compact unbundled morphology. Furthermore, kinetic and MD studies reveal previously unidentified in-vitro evidence that E22G Aβ40, rather than Aβ42, may trigger Aβ misfolding in the FAD, and prompt subsequent misfolding of wild-type (WT) Aβ40/Aβ42 via cross-seeding. The results provide insight into how the Arctic mutation promotes AD via Aβ40 accumulation and cross-propagation.
