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

Protein aggregates threaten cellular proteostasis and are linked to aging and disease. In metazoa, aggregate resolution relies on Hsp70-J-domain protein (JDP)-based disaggregases. Previous studies showed human class A and class B JDP assemblies enhance Hsp70-mediated disaggregation, but the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. Using J-domain mutants that impair Hsp70 binding while preserving mixed-class JDP interaction, we show that synergistic disaggregation is lost when either JDP partner cannot engage Hsp70. Size-resolved disaggregation assays further reveal that mixed-class JDP assemblies influence the processing of distinct luciferase aggregate populations, including aggregate species inefficiently handled by either JDP alone. Our findings support a model in which mixed-class JDP assemblies enhance Hsp70 disaggregation through expanded aggregate-processing capacity and multivalent Hsp70 recruitment by both JDP partners.
