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

T-cell intracellular antigen-1 (TIA-1) is a key component of stress granules and contains an intrinsically disordered region called the prion-like domain (PLD). TIA-1 PLD can form condensates via phase separation that subsequently convert into amyloid fibrils. However, the structural basis underlying TIA-1 PLD amyloid fibril formation remains unclear, hindering clinical understanding and therapeutic intervention at the molecular level. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we identified structural features that are consistent with a labile architecture, including a kinked backbone conformation, a polar zipper, and a proline-mediated cross-β structure. We also determined the fibril structure containing a G355R missense mutation and found that this mutation disrupts the tight conformation around G355 in the wild-type structure, leading to delayed fibril formation. The amyloid fibril structures of TIA-1 PLD provide an atomic-level framework for mechanistic studies of mutation-driven dysfunction.
