Taking Down the Primary Cilium: Pathways for Disassembly in Differentiating Cells.
Review in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Primary cilia are customized subcellular signaling compartments leveraged to detect signals in diverse physiological contexts. Although prevalent throughout mammalian tissues, primary cilia are not universal. Many non-ciliated cells derive from developmental lineages that include ciliated progenitors; however, little is known about how primary cilia are lost as cells differentiate. Here, we examine how ciliated and non-ciliated states emerge during development and are actively maintained. We highlight several pathways for primary cilia loss, including cilia resorption in pre-mitotic cells, cilia deconstruction in post-mitotic cells, cilia shortening via remodeling, and cilia disassembly preceding multiciliogenesis. Lack of ciliogenesis is known to decrease primary cilia frequency and cause ciliopathies. Failure to maintain cilia can also cause primary cilia to be absent. Conversely, defects in primary cilia suppression or disassembly can lead to the presence of primary cilia in non-ciliated cells. We examine how changes in ciliation states could contribute to tumorigenesis and neurodegeneration.
