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

Meiosis is more vulnerable to heat than mitosis in many species including humans. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we discovered that stress granule formation halts meiosis at high temperatures. Meiotic stress granules appear at lower temperatures (33-42 °C) than mitotic stress granules (~46 °C), requiring the meiosis-specific RNA binding protein Rim4. Heat triggers site-specific Rim4 dephosphorylation, causing it to self-assemble into stress granule seeds. These recruit other stress granule components like Pab1 and mRNAs, pausing meiosis. Normally, 14-3-3 proteins block this assembly by binding phosphorylated Rim4. After temperature drops, Hsp104 assists to break down stress granules. Longer stress granule persistence correlates with better recovery, suggesting stress granules might provide temporal insulation for cellular repair processes prior to meiotic resumption.
