Is the lipochaperone activity of sHSP a key to the stress response encoded in its primary sequence?
Review in Cell stress & chaperones, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Several strategies have been put in place by organisms to adapt to their environment. One of these strategies is the production of stress proteins such as sHSPs, which have been widely described over the last 30 years for their role as molecular chaperones. Some sHSPs have, in addition, the particularity to exert a lipochaperone role by interacting with membrane lipids to maintain an optimal membrane fluidity. However, the mechanisms involved in this sHSP-lipid interaction remain poorly understood and described rather sporadically in the literature. This review gathers the information concerning the structure and function of these proteins available in the literature in order to highlight the mechanism involved in this interaction. In addition, analysis of primary sequence data of sHSPs available in database shows that sHSPs can interact with lipids via certain amino acid residues present on some β sheets of these proteins. These residues could have a key role in the structure and/or oligomerization dynamics of sHPSs, which is certainly essential for interaction with membrane lipids and consequently for maintaining optimal cell membrane fluidity.
