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

HSF-1 is a highly conserved transcription factor that plays a central role in protecting organisms from diverse cellular stresses. However, the mechanisms by which HSF-1 senses and responds to different types of stress remain incompletely understood. COPII-coated vesicles, responsible for transporting cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus, are essential for protein secretion and cellular homeostasis. Disruption of these vesicles impairs protein secretion and triggers severe proteotoxic stress. Here, we show that HSF-1 directly monitors COPII vesicle dysfunction through interactions with the core COPII component SEC-23, in both Caenorhabditis elegans and NIH3T3 cells. Inhibition of SEC-23 or SAR-1 disrupts COPII vesicle formation, leading to the release of HSF-1 from the COPII complex. This release induces a specific transcriptomic change to restore protein homeostasis. Our findings reveal a conserved mechanism by which HSF-1 responds to COPII vesicle dysregulation, providing new insights into the HSF-1-centered proteostasis network.
