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

Hereditary apolipoprotein A-I (AApoA-I) amyloidosis is a rare systemic disease caused by the deposition of amyloid fibrils formed by apolipoprotein A-I in multiple organs, leading to severe clinical outcomes. With no available therapies or diagnostic tools, defining the structure of AApoA-I fibrils is crucial to understanding disease mechanisms and guiding intervention. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we analyzed AApoA-I fibrils from the heart, kidney, liver, and spleen of patients carrying G26R, L90P, and R173P mutations. G26R fibrils, regardless of organ, exhibited untwisted morphologies and could not be resolved structurally. Conversely, L90P and R173P fibrils displayed a compact diabolo-shaped conformation in all organs analyzed. Their high-resolution maps enabled visualization of
