Are the Head and Tail Domains of Intermediate Filaments Really Unstructured Regions?
Review in Genes, 2024. 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
Intermediate filaments (IFs) are integral components of the cytoskeleton which provide cells with tissue-specific mechanical properties and are involved in a plethora of cellular processes. Unfortunately, due to their intricate architecture, the 3D structure of the complete molecule of IFs has remained unresolved. Even though most of the rod domain structure has been revealed by means of crystallographic analyses, the flanked head and tail domains are still mostly unknown. Only recently have studies shed light on head or tail domains of IFs, revealing certainsecondary structures and conformational changes during IF assembly. Thus, a deeper understanding of their structure could provide insights into their function.
