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

Peroxisomes are versatile organelles mediating energy homeostasis and redox balance. While peroxisome dysfunction is linked to numerous diseases, the mechanisms regulating peroxisome dynamics during cellular stress remain elusive. Using yeast, we show that proteotoxic stress, including loss of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or cytosolic chaperone function, impaired ER protein translocation, disrupted N-linked glycosylation, or reductive stress, triggers peroxisome proliferation. This occurs through increased de novo biogenesis from the ER, as well as growth and division, rather than impaired pexophagy. Peroxisome biogenesis is essential for cellular recovery from proteotoxic stress. Through comprehensive testing of major signaling pathways, we determine this response to be mediated by activation of the heat shock response and inhibition of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signaling. Notably, the effects of proteotoxic stress and TOR inhibition on peroxisomes are also observed in human fibroblasts. Our findings reveal a critical and conserved role of peroxisomes in cellular response to proteotoxic stress.
