A nucleotide code governs Lis1's ability to relieve dynein autoinhibition.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. 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
Dynein-1 is a microtubule motor responsible for the transport of cytoplasmic cargoes. Activation of motility requires it first overcome an autoinhibited state prior to its assembly with dynactin and a cargo adaptor. Studies suggest that Lis1 may relieve dynein's autoinhibited state. However, evidence for this mechanism is lacking. We first set out to determine the rules governing dynein-Lis1 binding, which reveals that their binding affinity is regulated by the nucleotide-bound states of each of three nucleotide-binding pockets within the dynein motor domain. We also find that distinct nucleotide 'codes' coordinate dynein-Lis1 binding stoichiometry by impacting binding affinity at two different sites within the dynein motor domain. Electron microscopy reveals that a 1 Lis1:1 dynein complex directly promotes an open, uninhibited conformational state of dynein, whereas a 2:1 complex resembles the autoinhibited state. Cryo-EM analysis reveals the structural basis for Lis1 opening dynein relies on interactions with the linker domain.
