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

Oligomers of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides are related to Alzheimer's disease, and their formation is accelerated at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces. We performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of Aβ(29-42) peptides in bulk water and at an air-water interface. In bulk water, the fragments formed stable aggregates, and the secondary structures were hardly changed. At the interface, the peptides were more easily separated from each other due to the low free-energy barrier and changed their secondary structures more frequently. This conformational flexibility is likely to promote amyloid fibril growth, suggesting a key role of interfacial environments in early aggregation processes.
