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

Heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) is the central regulator of heat-induced transcriptional responses leading to rapid expression of molecular chaperones that protect mammalian cells against proteotoxic stress. The main targets for HSF1 are specific promoter elements (HSE) located upstream of heat shock genes encoding a variety of heat shock proteins, including HSP70, HSP90, HSP27, and other proteins of the network. Herein we report that the zinc finger AN1-type domain-2a gene, also known as AIRAP, behaves as a canonical heat shock gene, whose expression is temperature-dependent and strictly controlled by HSF1. Transcription is triggered at temperatures above 40 degrees C in different types of human cancer and primary cells, including peripheral blood monocytes. As shown by ChIP analysis, HSF1 is recruited to the AIRAP promoter rapidly after heat treatment, with a kinetics that parallels HSP70 promoter HSF1-recruitment. In transfection experiments HSF1-silencing abolished heat-induced AIRAP promoter-driven transcription, which could be rescued by exogenous Flag-HSF1 expression. The HSF1 binding HSE sequence in the AIRAP promoter critical for heat-induced transcription was identified. Because its expression is induced at febrile temperatures in human cells, AIRAP may represent a new potential component of the protective response during fever in humans.
