Evolutionary Study of Protein Short Tandem Repeats in Protein Families.
Article in Biomolecules, 2023. 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
Tandem repeats in proteins are patterns of residues repeated directly adjacent to each other. The evolution of these repeats can be assessed by using groups of homologous sequences, which can help pointing to events of unit duplication or deletion. High pressure in a protein family for variation of a given type of repeat might point to their function. Here, we propose the analysis of protein families to calculate protein short tandem repeats (pSTRs) in each protein sequence and assess their variability within the family in terms of number of units. To facilitate this analysis, we developed the pSTR tool, a method to analyze the evolution of protein short tandem repeats in a given protein family by pairwise comparisons between evolutionarily related protein sequences. We evaluated pSTR unit number variation in protein families of 12 complete metazoan proteomes. We hypothesize that families with more dynamic ensembles of repeats could reflect particular roles of these repeats in processes that require more adaptability.
