Amyloid fibril polymorphism: Structural mechanisms of assembly and the links to disease.
Review in Current opinion in structural biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Amyloid fibrils are involved in devastating conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and systemic amyloidosis. They exhibit polymorphism, meaning that a single protein sequence can adopt different amyloid folds that vary with time and self-assembly conditions. Polymorphism confounds structure-based drug design and raises fundamental questions regarding why particular fibril structures form and how they cause disease. Here, we highlight the latest advances in our understanding of amyloid polymorphism, including its structural basis, thermodynamic origins, kinetic influences, and significance for disease. The next frontier will be to predict fibril structures, disentangle the dynamic mechanisms that guide the progression of fibril polymorphs, and illuminate how cofactors and the physiological milieu select for particular polymorphs in disease.
