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

Calcineurin is a calcium-calmodulin-activated serine/threonine-specific phosphatase that operates during cellular responses to stress and plays a prominent role in transcriptional control, whereas regulatory events beyond transcription are less well characterized. This study reveals a novel transcription-independent role of calcineurin during the temperature stress response in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. The diffusely cytoplasmic calcineurin catalytic subunit Cna1 relocates to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated puncta and the mother-bud neck when cells are subjected to 37°C. More than 50% of Cna1 puncta contain the P-body constituent decapping enzyme Dcp1 and the stress granule constituent poly(A)-binding protein Pub1. These results support a model in which calcineurin orchestrates thermal stress responses by associating with sites of mRNA processing.
