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

Amyloidoses, which are characterized by abnormal accumulation of amyloid proteins leading to organ dysfunction, represent a major therapeutic challenge. They include neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer disease (AD), tauopathies and synucleinopathies. Since amyloids are causative factors in these diseases, the importance of proteolytic methods to remove amyloid, such as immunotherapy and Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) technology, has been recognized. Immunotherapy removes target proteins by antibody-mediated reactions and is the most studied method in practical use for the treatment of AD. PROTAC is a small molecule that uses the ubiquitin-proteasome system to degrade intracellular target proteins and has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for other diseases. In addition, a new modality called photo-oxygenation has been developed. Photo-oxygenation is a method of selectively adding oxygen to amyloid using a photocatalyst, which is a small molecule compound that is activated by light. Studies both in vitro and in vivo have shown promising results in inhibiting amyloid aggregation and enhancing the clearance of amyloid proteins. In this review, we introduce and discuss these proteolytic modalities, and provide insights into potential future directions for the clinical application in amyloidoses.
