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

Stress proteins promote cell survival by monitoring protein homeostasis in cells and organelles. YcjX is a conserved protein of unknown function, which is highly upregulated in response to acute and chronic stress. Notably, heat shock induction of ycjX exceeded even levels observed for major stress-induced chaperones, including GroEL, ClpB, and HtpG, which use ATP as energy source. YcjX features a Walker-type nucleotide-binding domain indicating that YcjX might function as a molecular chaperone. Here, we present the first crystal structure of YcjX from Shewanella oneidensis solved at 1.9-Å resolution by SAD phasing. We show that YcjX is a GTP-binding protein that shares at its core the canonical alpha-beta domain of p21
