The Role of Heat Shock Protein (Hsp) Chaperones in Environmental Stress Adaptation and Virulence of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Plant pathogenic bacteria are responsible for a substantial number of plant diseases worldwide, resulting in significant economic losses. Bacteria are exposed to numerous stress factors during their epiphytic life and within the host. Their ability to survive in the host and cause symptomatic infections depends on their capacity to overcome stressors. Bacteria have evolved a range of defensive and adaptive mechanisms to thrive under varying environmental conditions. One such mechanism involves the induction of chaperone proteins that belong to the heat shock protein (Hsp) family. Together with proteases, these proteins are integral components of the protein quality control system (PQCS), which is essential for maintaining cellular proteostasis. However, knowledge of their action is considerably less extensive than that of human and animal pathogens. This study discusses the modulation of Hsp levels by phytopathogenic bacteria in response to stress conditions, including elevated temperature, oxidative stress, changes in pH or osmolarity of the environment, and variable host conditions during infection. All these factors influence bacterial virulence. Finally, the secretion of GroEL and DnaK proteins outside the bacterial cell is considered a potentially important virulence trait.
