Mechanisms of cilia regeneration in Xenopus multiciliated epithelium in vivo.
Article in EMBO reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Cilia regeneration is a physiological event, and while studied extensively in unicellular organisms, it remains poorly understood in vertebrates. In this study, using Xenopus multiciliated cells (MCCs), we demonstrate that, unlike unicellular organisms, deciliation removes the transition zone (TZ) and the ciliary axoneme. While MCCs immediately begin regenerating the axoneme, surprisingly, the TZ assembly is delayed. However, ciliary tip proteins, Sentan and Clamp, localize to regenerating cilia without delay. Using cycloheximide (CHX) to block protein synthesis, we show that the TZ protein B9d1 is not present in the cilia precursor pool and requires new transcription/translation, providing insights into the delayed repair of TZ. Moreover, MCCs in CHX treatment assemble fewer but near wild-type length cilia by gradually concentrating ciliogenesis proteins like IFTs at a few basal bodies. Using mathematical modeling, we show that cilia length, compared to cilia number, has a larger influence on the force generated by MCCs. Our results question the requirement of TZ in motile cilia assembly and provide insights into the fundamental question of how cells determine organelle size and number.
