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

Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation is a central pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, with soluble trimers recognized as particularly neurotoxic species. Amentoflavone (AMF), a natural biflavonoid compound, has shown strong inhibitory effects on Aβ aggregation. However, its underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we employed replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) and molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) method to elucidate the interaction between AMF and Aβ peptides. Our results reveal that AMF preferentially binds to the
