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

Increasing temperature due to global warming in the Himalayan regions has severe implications for the survival of aquatic ectotherms. To study the thermal acclimation and heat tolerance of an endangered Himalayan fish species, Tor putitora, we examined tissue-specific mRNA expression patterns of heat-shock proteins (HSP90β; HSP70, HSP60, HSP47, HSP30, and HSP20), warm-temperature acclimation proteins (WAP65-1) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (CDKN1B) genes in liver, brain, gill, kidney, muscle, and gonad tissues at the intervals of 10, 20, and 30 days during a high-temperature treatment (34.0 °C) for 30 days. All the tested genes have exhibited tissue-specific and time-dependent expression patterns. Heat shock proteins' differential expression and modulation across examined tissues indicate their role in long-term cellular adaptation, protection against the cytotoxic effect of hyperthermia, and species acclimation to higher temperatures. WAP65-1 and CDKN1B expression in treatment groups suggests its involvement in maintaining homeostasis, long-term temperature acclimation, and thermotolerance during chronic thermal exposure. The response of studied genes under heat stress indicates their potential use as environmental stress biomarkers in this species. The present study elucidates molecular mechanisms regulating the thermal acclimation capacity and thermotolerance of T. putitora and its survival under future projections of widespread warming in the Himalayan region.
