Clustering of heat-shock factors.
Article in The Biochemical journal, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Clusterin is a ubiquitous glycoprotein found in most physiological fluids and tissues. Although not fully understood, the function of clusterin seems to be related to its ability to bind a wide variety of molecules. Since clusterin has been found associated with extracellular protein aggregates, a role as a molecular chaperone has been proposed. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Le Dréan and colleagues demonstrate an up-regulation of clusterin in neuronal cells exposed to proteotoxic stress that results in unfolded protein accumulation and proteasome impairment, both commonly associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, expression of clusterin was found to be regulated by two members of the HSF (heat-shock factor) family, HSF1 and HSF2, which possibly form a trimeric complex on the clusterin promoter. The study proposes clusterin as a player in a cellular defence mechanism against harmful protein accumulation, and highlights the importance of elucidating further the exact role of clusterin and the intriguing interaction between HSF1 and HSF2.
