Genome-Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms-Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The host-parasite arms race involves complex molecular crosstalk mediated by protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Bioinformatic analyses can be used to predict both host-parasite PPIs and potential drug targets in parasite genomes, but high-quality genomic data remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. Herein, an experimental lineage of Gyrodactylus kobayashii (Monopisthocotylea: Gyrodactylidae) is set up on goldfish hosts and used to conduct phased genome assembly using long-range PacBio HiFi and Hi-C technologies. In silico analyses of genomes of three Gyrodactylus species identified innexins as the most promising novel drug candidate genes. Drug screening and experimental verification singled out Imatinib as the most promising drug targeting innexins, with a high efficiency against G. kobayashii (100% mortality at 25 µM within 6 h in vitro) and low toxicity to the host. Prediction of PPIs in three Gyrodactylus-host pairs revealed proteins associated with cAMP-dependent signaling as key candidates, including the host's PRKACB and the parasite's PRKAR2A, RAP1A, ULK2, and Catenin Beta-2. Two interacting G proteins are also identified: GNAO1 and GNB5. As the first high-quality phased chromosome-level genomic assembly for "monogeneans" and the first identification of PPIs in a fish-parasite system, this study significantly advances the understanding of host-parasite interactions at the genomic level.
