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

Plant-derived amyloid fibrils represent a promising class of sustainable nanomaterials outperforming their native counterparts in functionalities; however, the atomic-level structural mechanisms behind these enhancements have yet to be elucidated. Using cryo-EM, near-atomic resolution structures (3.4 and 3.5 Å) are determined for two distinct fibril polymorphs assembled in vitro from soy glycinin-A subunit. The dominant Type I fibril exhibits an unprecedented dual-core architecture, characterized by spatially segregated hydrophilic (Asp172-Asn178/Asn178'-Asp172') and hydrophobic (Val166-Ile168/Val186'-Pro184') domains, which contribute to a unique amyloid fold distinct from many known amyloid structures, including pathological and functional amyloids. In contrast, the minor Type II fibril adopts a conventional extended hydrophobic core with Tyr155-Tyr158 π-stacking. These atomic structures establish fundamental structure-property relationships that will inform the rational design of plant protein-based nanomaterials.
