The multifaceted impact of stress on immune function.
Review in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 is a response to physiological or psychological threats or challenging situations that enable one to cope with difficult circumstances. Various types of stressors promote a coordinated response in the body to maintain homeostasis. Experimental evidence suggests that the duration of stress is a pivotal factor influencing dysregulation in the immune system caused by stress. While it was reported that acute stress prepares the organism to deal with challenges and can benefit the body, chronic stress is detrimental. It can lead to more frequent infections, prolonged inflammation, and even cancer progression. This review aims to identify the consequences of stress on the immune system, distinguishing between acute stress and chronic stress. We conducted a comprehensive literature review to investigate how different types of stressors and the duration of stress affect the immune system. Both acute and chronic stress have an impact on the immune system. In the short term, stress induces the redistribution of immune cells by mobilizing them to active defense, and promotes anti-infective and anti-tumor defense, whereas chronic stress deregulates the immune system by reducing the effectiveness of immune cells, affecting their ability to fight infections and increasing the rate of disease progression.
