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

Circadian rhythms synchronize life with the environment. Although the molecular feedback loop underlying these rhythms has been well-characterized, our understanding of cellular clocks remains incomplete. In this study, by applying cellular and biochemistry approaches, we reveal the involvement of Hsp70 family proteins in regulating the core clock feedback loop by modulating the condensation formation of the PERIOD (PER) protein. Mutations in Hsp70s lead to circadian rhythm defects in a temperature-dependent manner. Further mechanistic investigation uncovered that Hsp70s compete with TIM for binding to PER. Notably, Hsp70s are essential for reducing PER liquid condensates. By generating a complete null allele of per, we demonstrated that per functions downstream of Hsp70s. Our findings on the role of Hsp70s in regulating PER provide new insights into the cellular mechanisms governing circadian rhythms.
