Mild activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response increases lifespan without increasing resistance to stress.
Article in Open biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mitoUPR) is a stress response pathway that responds to mitochondrial insults by altering gene expression to recover mitochondrial homeostasis. The mitoUPR is mediated by the stress-activated transcription factor ATFS-1 (activating transcription factor associated with stress 1). Constitutive activation of ATFS-1 increases resistance to exogenous stressors but paradoxically decreases lifespan. In this work, we determined the optimal levels of expression of activated ATFS-1 with respect to lifespan and resistance to stress by treating constitutively active
