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

Protein folding is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. When proteins misfold, aggregation can occur, contributing to a variety of diseases. Amphiphilic naphthyl-benzyl ether dendrons were recently reported to mimic natural chaperone systems by reducing the extent of fibrillation of an amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide fragment. Herein we develop this system using a slower-aggregating mutant Aβ peptide and the essential therapeutic protein, insulin. We show that amphiphilic dendrons strictly mimic the holdase function of chaperones by preventing aggregation, rather than slowing aggregation or disaggregating preformed fibrils. We demonstrate that the activity of these molecules tolerates minor changes to their structure and translates from the model Aβ peptide to insulin without structural optimization. Moreover, second-generation dendron
