Diversification of DIX domain-containing proteins in the SAR supergroup.
Article in mBio, 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
Polarity establishment is crucial for development, cellular organization, and signaling in living organisms. In animals and plants, this process involves DIX domain-containing proteins (DDPs) that assemble into oligomers via head-to-tail DIX polymerization, facilitating localized protein aggregation. This study uncovers the unexpected diversity of DDPs within the SAR supergroup, characterizing four DDPs with novel domain combinations conserved in Stramenopiles and Alveolates. These proteins are predominantly found in micro-swimmers and species with a motile stage in their life cycle. We hypothesize that DDPs from these eukaryotic lineages may be involved in cell polarity-related processes, including those associated with motility. Our work provides insights for further investigations of DDPs in protists and will enable the development of evolution-informed control strategies against pathogens and parasites within this clade.
