Direct disassembly of α-syn preformed fibrils into α-syn monomers by an all-D-peptide.

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
A hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the progressive neurodegeneration associated with soluble oligomeric and fibrillar forms of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn). In this study, all-D-enantiomeric peptide ligands are presented that bind monomeric α-syn with high affinity, stabilize its physiological monomeric status, prevent aggregation and dissolve existing aggregates. This "antiprionic" mode of action directly targets pathogenic aggregated particles. Using mirror-image phage display on D-enantiomeric full-length α-syn, SVD-1 and SVD-1a were identified, showing a delay of aggregation and reduction of aggregate formation in both de novo and seeded models. Picomolar KDs were confirmed by SPR, where a highly dynamic interaction mode was verified by PRE-NMR. SVD-1a also reduced the toxicity and intracellular seeding of α-syn fibrils in cell culture by disassembling them into monomers, as confirmed by atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering. These results support SVD-1a as a promising lead compound for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
