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

Apolipoprotein (apo) E mediates lipoprotein binding to cellular lipoprotein receptors. Previously we reported that a synthetic peptide representing a linear dimeric repeat of amino acids 141-155 binds cellular LDL receptors. To prepare an apoE peptide that bound to both cholesterol-rich lipoproteins and lipoprotein receptors, an NH2-terminal acetylated apoE dimer peptide was synthesized. This acetylated peptide preferentially associated with lipoproteins in plasma, whereas nonacylated peptides were poor lipid binders. Acetylated peptide/LDL complexes (molar ratios of 4-5:1) enhanced the interaction of LDL with cultured human fibroblasts by 7-12-fold. Participation by both receptors and cell surface heparin sulfate proteoglycans was observed. When a preformed peptide/125I-LDL complex was injected intravenously into C57BL/6J apoE-deficient mice, its rate of removal was threefold higher than that of 125I-LDL alone. The liver and the spleen were major tissue distribution sites. Intravenous administration of free acetylated peptide resulted in a 30% reduction in total plasma cholesterol within 3-30 min, which reflected a 40-50% and 20-26% reduction in very low density lipoproteins and intermediate density lipoproteins, respectively. Therefore, this peptide selectively associated with cholesterol-rich lipoproteins and mediated their acute clearance in vivo.
