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

Stress granules are a conserved response of eukaryotic cells to environmental insults. These cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein condensates have hitherto been primarily studied by microscopy, which showed previously that they comprise dense ∼200 nm cores embedded in a diffuse shell. We have developed large-scale purifications of budding yeast and mammalian (HEK293T cell) stress granule cores that do not rely on immunoprecipitation of candidate protein constituents. These unbiased preparations reveal that stress granule cores are discrete particles with variable size (average, 135 and 225 nm for yeast and human, respectively) and shape. Proteomics and transcriptomics demonstrate complex composition. The results of hybridization chain reaction fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses in HEK293T cells are consistent with stress granule cores having heterogeneous composition, i.e., each stress granule core particle contains only a limited number of mRNA species. Biochemical purification now opens the way to mechanistic analysis of the heterogeneity and complexity of stress granules.
