Multi-Faceted Roles of Stress Granules in Viral Infection.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Stress granules (SG), dynamic cytoplasmic condensates formed via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), serve as a critical hub for cellular stress adaptation and antiviral defense. By halting non-essential translation and sequestering viral RNA, SG restrict viral replication through multiple mechanisms, including PKR-eIF2α signaling, recruitment of antiviral proteins, and spatial isolation of viral components. However, viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to subvert SG-mediated defenses, including proteolytic cleavage of SG nucleators, sequestration of core proteins into viral replication complexes, and modulation of stress-responsive pathways. This review highlights the dual roles of SG as both antiviral sentinels and targets of viral manipulation, emphasizing their interplay with innate immunity, autophagy, and apoptosis. Furthermore, viruses exploit SG heterogeneity and crosstalk with RNA granules like processing bodies (P-bodies, PB) to evade host defenses, while viral inclusion bodies (IBs) recruit SG components to create proviral microenvironments. Future research directions include elucidating spatiotemporal SG dynamics in vivo, dissecting compositional heterogeneity, and leveraging advanced technologies to unravel context-specific host-pathogen conflicts. This review about viruses and SG formation helps better understand the virus-host interaction and game process to develop new drug targets. Understanding these mechanisms not only advances virology but also informs innovative strategies to address immune escape mechanisms in viral infections.
