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

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that play a crucial role in fish physiology from stress-induced damage by stabilizing proteins and enhancing survival under environmental challenges. This study characterizes the stress-responsive hsp70 (tb-ihsp70) gene in Trachinotus blochii, a prime marine aquaculture species, from an evolutionary perspective and links its expression to salinity and pathogen stress. The tb-ihsp70 encodes a 639 amino acid protein with conserved ATPase and substrate-binding domains critical for protein conformation under stress. Phylogenetic analysis grouped it within Carangidae, showing a strong link to Trachinotus ovatus, with marine and freshwater species forming distinct clades, reflecting the environmental role in its phylogeny. Structural modelling revealed a Y-shaped conformation with high-confidence validation scores. STRING analysis identified functional partners, highlighting involvement in broader stress response pathways. The intronless feature and expression profiling classified tb-ihsp70 as a constitutively expressed and moderately inducible HSP70. Expression in healthy fish was maximum in gill > posterior kidney > spleen > liver > heart. Salinity stress showed significant upregulation at 3‰ on day two (7.95-fold) and three (5.26-fold), while no significant changes were observed at 42‰ on any day, indicating a stronger and longer tb-ihsp70 induction at lower salinity levels. Vibrio harveyi challenge peaked expression at 12 h in spleen (73.86-fold), heart (40.88-fold), and posterior kidney (23.10-fold). In conclusion, this first comprehensive characterization underscores the role of tb-ihsp70 in biotic and abiotic stress adaptation, supporting its potential as a molecular biomarker for T. blochii health research in mariculture.
