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

We performed a multimodal characterisation of self-assembled fibrillar aggregates formed by the residue 87-114 fragment of the white-tailed deer (WTD) prion protein (PrP), a disease-relevant region implicated in the structural conversion and transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids. Using an integrated experimental platform combining plasmon-enhanced bright-field microscopy, label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and Thioflavin T staining, we probed peptide aggregation in solution under ambient conditions. Nanostructured gold films on dielectric fused silica supports served as dual-purpose plasmonic substrates for imaging and SERS. We observed a transition from dispersed states to well-defined fibrillar networks, accompanied by spectral evolution in key backbone-sensitive SERS bands. These results establish the amide III region and tryptophan vibrational features as indicators of fibrillar architecture in SERS assays and offer new insights into the aggregation behavior of amyloidogenic sequences involved in CWD susceptibility.
