Molecular basis for the assembly of the dynein transport machinery on microtubules.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cytoplasmic dynein-1, a microtubule-based motor protein, requires dynactin and an adaptor to form the processive dynein-dynactin-adaptor (DDA) complex. The role of microtubules in DDA assembly has been elusive. Here, we reveal detailed structural insights into microtubule-mediated DDA assembly using cryo-electron microscopy. We find that an adaptor-independent dynein-dynactin complex (DD) predominantly forms on microtubules in an intrinsic 2:1 stoichiometry, induced by spontaneous parallelization of dynein upon microtubule binding. Adaptors can squeeze in and exchange within the assembled microtubule-bound DD complex, which is enabled by relative rotations between dynein and dynactin, and further facilitated by dynein light intermediate chains that assist in an adaptor 'search' mechanism. Our findings elucidate the dynamic adaptability of the dynein transport machinery, and reveal a new mode for assembly of the motile complex.
