STAT Signaling and Its Anti-Apoptotic Effects in Dehydrated Xenopus laevis.
Article in Biology of the cell, 2026. 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
Xenopus laevis survives seasonal droughts by entering a hypometabolic state known as aestivation. One of the mechanisms employed by X. laevis to mitigate aestivation-induced tissue atrophy is gene regulation of pro-survival proteins. We further expand on the role of anti-apoptotic signaling in X. laevis by investigating the effect of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling on downstream anti-apoptotic genes in control and dehydrated liver and skeletal muscle of X. laevis. Herein, we found that STAT signaling is differentially regulated between tissues. STAT3 signaling in the liver and STAT5 signaling in skeletal muscle lead to the selective upregulation of downstream anti-apoptotic proteins. Additionally, pro-apoptotic STAT1 signaling is found to be attenuated in both tissues during dehydration stress. Overall, our results indicate an important role for anti-apoptotic proteins during dehydration stress and their contribution in mitigating aestivation-induced atrophy.
