Molecular chaperone function of three small heat-shock proteins from a model probiotic species.
Article 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 9 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
Small heat-shock proteins (sHSP) are ubiquitous ATP-independent chaperones that prevent irreversible aggregation of heat-damaged denaturing proteins. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a widespread Gram-positive bacterium with probiotic claims and vast potential for agro-food, biotechnological and biomedical applications. L. plantarum possesses a family of three sHSP, which were previously demonstrated to be involved in its stress tolerance mechanisms. Here, the three L. plantarum sHSP were heterologously expressed, purified and shown to have a chaperone activity in vitro, measuring their capacity to suppress protein aggregation, as assayed spectrophotometrically by light scattering. Their anti-aggregative capacity was found to be differently influenced by pH. Differences were also found relative to their holdase function and their capacity to modulate liposome membrane fluidity, suggesting interplays between them and indicating diversified activities. This is the first study assessing the chaperone action of sHSP from a probiotic model. The different roles of the three sHSP can increase L. plantarum's capabilities to survive the various types of stress characterising the diverse habitats of this highly adaptable species. Reported evidence supports the interest in L. plantarum as one of the model species for bacteria that have three different sHSP-encoding genes in their genomes.
