The phenomenon of anhydrobiosis-structural and functional changes in yeast cells.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Anhydrobiosis is a phenomenon that involves the ability of microorganisms to survive in an environment of virtually complete dehydration. Yeast cells in anhydrobiosis exhibit several structural and functional changes. Survival of such extreme environmental conditions while maintaining the viability of eukaryotic cells after rehydration is a subject of constant interest in the scientific community worldwide. This review article presents the most essential information discussing the effect of dehydration on several structural and functional changes occurring in yeast cell organelles. It is worth emphasizing that at the cellular level, in dehydration conditions, it is possible to observe the occurrence of processes responsible for cytoplasm condensation, cytoskeleton reorganization or changes in the structure of the cell membrane and individual organelles. In addition, protein aggregation and a reduction in metabolic activity also occur. The consequence of such processes is the inhibition of the cell cycle and a decrease in the activity of individual enzymes. One of the key mechanisms responsible for yeast defense against this phenomenon is the accumulation of protective substances. Understanding the functioning of complex adaptive mechanisms of yeast cells occurring in the state of anhydrobiosis will constitute an extension of the current knowledge in this scientific field. It is worth emphasizing that conducting future research on explaining the complex relationships that occur at the molecular level in the cytosol of yeast cells between individual organelles will provide new molecular clues covering the functioning of particular signaling pathways. At the same time, using knowledge from this technological sector will be an opportunity to develop innovative technologies in the field of designing yeast-derived products. KEY POINTS: • Yeast cells exhibit significant structural and functional changes in the anhydrobiosis state. • Dehydration leads to cytoskeleton reorganization, membrane changes, and cytoplasmic condensation. • Anhydrobiosis leads to protein aggregation and reduced translation at the ribosome level in yeast.
