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

Parasites rely on their hosts for survival and replication and therefore face major challenges as they transition between hosts and encounter hostile microenvironments. Over evolution, these organisms have developed complex mechanisms to rapidly adapt to environmental fluctuations and to exploit host cellular machinery for persistence and dissemination. Among the pathways parasites deploy to cope with stress is the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), a conserved mechanism present in both parasites and their hosts, yet built on partially distinct molecular components. This shared but divergent pathway constitutes a critical battleground that reflects host-parasite coevolution, where host-protective responses intersect with parasite adaptive strategies. This review summarizes the current understanding of how protozoan parasites engage their own ISR-like programs to adapt to harsh environments and how they modulate host ISR signaling to establish and maintain successful infections.
