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

Over 20 human diseases are caused by or associated with amyloid formation. Developing diagnostic tools to understand the process of amyloid fibril formation is essential for creating therapeutic agents to combat these widespread and growing health problems. Here, we capitalize on our recent striking discovery that green fluorescent protein (GFP), one of the most-used proteins in molecular and cell biology, has a high intrinsic binding affinity to various structural intermediates along the fibrillation pathway, independent of amyloid sequence. Using engineered GFP with the fluorescence properties of Aquamarine and mCitrine, we developed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor to quantitatively monitor amyloid fibrils. The proof-of-principle characterization was performed on a test system consisting of PAPf39 fibrils.
