Proteomic Mechanisms of Hepatic- and Cardio-Protection of a Food-Hoarding Hibernator, Tamias sibiricus.
Article in Integrative zoology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hibernation involves complex physiological adaptations enabling animals to survive extreme conditions. During hibernation, body temperature, metabolic rate, and heart rate change significantly but are quickly restored upon arousal. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study used proteomics to examine cardiac and hepatic protein levels in food-hoarding hibernator Siberian chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus) during torpor and arousal. Results show that, unlike the fat-storing hibernators, the liver of chipmunks maintains glucose, lipid, and bile acid synthesis throughout hibernation due to changes in proteins like GALE, SLC2A3, GSK-3α, HMGCS2, ACAT2, and AMACR. In contrast, reduced mitochondrial autophagy (PINK1 and PARKIN) and enhanced anti-apoptotic mechanisms (TFRC, WFS1, and NDRG1) help maintain energy balance in the heart. These findings provide new insights into cardio-protection in food-hoarding hibernators and improve our understanding of adaptive mechanisms in mammalian hibernators.
