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

Amyloid fibrils are protein assemblies that are pathologically linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Fibril structures can aid development of highly specific ligands for diagnostic imaging and therapeutics. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) is a viable approach to solving fibril structures; however, most SSNMR protocols require manual analysis of extensive spectral data, presenting a major bottleneck to determining structures. Standard automation; routines fall short for symmetric multimeric assemblies like amyloids due to high cross peak degeneracy and the need to account for multiple protein subunits. Here, we employ the probabilistic assignment for structure determination protocol in conjunction with strict; symmetry in Xplor-NIH structure determination software, demonstrating the methodology using data from a previous structure of an α-synuclein (Asyn) fibril implicated in Parkinson disease. The automated protocol generated a structure of comparable, if not superior, quality in a few days of computational time, reducing the manual effort required; to solve amyloid structures by SSNMR.
