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

Accumulation of protein aggregates is a hallmark of cellular aging and degenerative disorders. This could result from either increased protein misfolding and aggregation or impaired dissolution of aggregates formed under stress, the latter of which is poorly understood. In this study, we employed quantitative live-cell imaging to investigate the dynamic process of protein disaggregation in yeast. We show that protein aggregates formed upon heat stress are solid condensates, but after stress attenuation these protein aggregates first transition into a liquid-like state during their dissolution. This solid-to-liquid phase transition (SLPT) accompanies the reduction in aggregate number due to the fusion of the liquid condensates. The chaperone activity of Hsp104, a Clp/HSP100 family chaperone, is required for both SLPT and subsequent dispersal of the liquid condensates. Sse1, a yeast HSP110 chaperone, also facilitates SLPT. These results illuminate an unexpected mechanistic framework of cellular control over protein disaggregation upon stress attenuation.
