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

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous in the environment and are part of the natural human microbiome. Despite their abundance, the role of the human phagome in health and disease remains poorly understood. Here, we identify phage tails in ex vivo amyloid extracts from patients with lysozyme amyloidosis (ALys) and light-chain amyloidosis (AL). Using cryo-EM analysis of the ALys dataset, automated model building, and database searches, we assigned the observed tubular assemblies to a phage tail tube protein (TTP). Although we cannot fully rule out the possibility of contamination, the presence of phage tails raises the question of whether they bind to and are co-purified with amyloid fibrils. These structures may provide further insight into the potential relationship between phage-derived assemblies and amyloid remodeling, with possible implications for future therapeutic strategies in human amyloidosis.
