Updates on protein-prenylation and associated inherited retinopathies.
Review in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Membrane-anchored proteins play critical roles in cell signaling, cellular architecture, and membrane biology. Hydrophilic proteins are post-translationally modified by a diverse range of lipid molecules such as phospholipids, glycosylphosphatidylinositol, and isoprenes, which allows their partition and anchorage to the cell membrane. In this review article, we discuss the biochemical basis of isoprenoid synthesis, the mechanisms of isoprene conjugation to proteins, and the functions of prenylated proteins in the neural retina. Recent discovery of novel prenyltransferases, prenylated protein chaperones, non-canonical prenylation-target motifs, and reversible prenylation is expected to increase the number of inherited systemic and blinding diseases with aberrant protein prenylation. Recent important investigations have also demonstrated the role of several unexpected regulators (such as protein charge, sequence/protein-chaperone interaction, light exposure history) in the photoreceptor trafficking of prenylated proteins. Technical advances in the investigation of the prenylated proteome and its application in vision research are discussed. Clinical updates and technical insights into known and putative prenylation-associated retinopathies are provided herein. Characterization of non-canonical prenylation mechanisms in the retina and retina-specific prenylated proteome is fundamental to the understanding of the pathogenesis of protein prenylation-associated inherited blinding disorders.
