ATP plays a structural role in Hsp90 function.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hsp90 is a highly conserved ATP-dependent molecular chaperone that forms a clamp around client proteins. The role of ATP in Hsp90 function is unclear since cell viability requires ATP binding, but not hydrolysis. Here, we present findings that support our hypothesis that after ATP binds, the γ phosphate repositions in a regulated manner to interact with a conserved arginine (R380) and stabilize the closed clamp. We propose that the essential role of ATP in Hsp90 function is structural: ATP is a linker that physically tethers the N and M domains and stabilizes closing. Severing this link by hydrolysis facilitates reopening. Our findings support the idea that R380 is an arginine finger, a motif found in diverse NTPase families, due to its interdomain interaction with ATP. This in turn suggests that for some arginine fingers the nucleotide itself is a structural element important for stabilization of inter-domain or -subunit interactions.
