Imaginal discs produce neuropeptide-like precursor 1 to alleviate ER stress in response to warm temperatures.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In mammals, prolonged heat stress induces an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response that can damage internal organs. In Drosophila, larvae grow and develop into adults faster at warmer temperatures (e.g., 30°C) than at lower temperatures, but with reduced body size and fertility. In this study, we show that the neuropeptide gene neuropeptide-like precursor 1 (Nplp1) alleviates temperature-induced ER stress in imaginal discs. Warm temperatures increase production of a specific Nplp1 splice variant that inhibits PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) activation and cell death. Nplp1 inhibits Dilp8 expression through the PERK/ATF4/Yki pathway, thereby enabling imaginal disc growth and ecdysone homeostasis under warm temperature conditions. These findings provide valuable insights into how animals cope with elevated temperatures.
