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

Cells must respond rapidly to heat stress by activating multiple signaling pathways that preserve proteostasis. In budding yeast, this includes induction of Hsf1 and Msn2/4-mediated transcription, cell integrity signaling, stress-triggered phase separation of proteins, and inhibition of translation. How these pathways are so rapidly activated and coordinated remains unclear. We show that the mechanosensor Mid2 senses heat-induced membrane stretch and leads to rapid phosphorylation of the cytosolic Hsp70 Ssa1 at a well-conserved threonine (T492). Phosphorylation of T492 leads to epichaperome rearrangement promoting fine-tuning of multiple cellular processes including translational pausing, HSF activity, MAPK signaling and stress granule resolution. Taken together, these results provide a comprehensive, unified theory of the global yeast heat shock response mediated by the Hsp70 chaperone code.
