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

Co-chaperones are key elements of cellular protein quality control. They cooperate with the major heat shock proteins Hsp70 and Hsp90 in folding proteins and preventing the toxic accumulation of misfolded proteins upon exposure to stress. Hsp90 interacts with the co-chaperone stress-inducible phosphoprotein 1 (Sti1/Stip1/Hop) and activator of Hsp90 ATPase protein 1 (Aha1) among many others. Sti1 and Aha1 control the ATPase activity of Hsp90, but Sti1 also facilitates the transfer of client proteins from Hsp70 to Hsp90, thus connecting these two major branches of protein quality control. We find that misbalanced expression of Sti1 and Aha1 in yeast and mammalian cells causes severe growth defects. Also, deletion of STI1 causes an accumulation of soluble misfolded ubiquitinated proteins and a strong activation of the heat shock response. We discover that, during proteostatic stress, Sti1 forms cytoplasmic inclusions in yeast and mammalian cells that overlap with misfolded proteins. Our work indicates a key role of Sti1 in proteostasis independent of its Hsp90 ATPase regulatory functions by sequestering misfolded proteins during stress.
