Cryo-EM structure of a lysozyme-derived amyloid fibril from hereditary amyloidosis.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Systemic ALys amyloidosis is a debilitating protein misfolding disease that arises from the formation of amyloid fibrils from C-type lysozyme. We here present a 2.8 Å cryo-electron microscopy structure of an amyloid fibril, which was isolated from the abdominal fat tissue of a patient who expressed the D87G variant of human lysozyme. We find that the fibril possesses a stable core that is formed by all 130 residues of the fibril precursor protein. There are four disulfide bonds in each fibril protein that connect the same residues as in the globularly folded protein. As the conformation of lysozyme in the fibril is otherwise fundamentally different from native lysozyme, our data provide a structural rationale for the need of protein unfolding in the development of systemic ALys amyloidosis.
