Characterization of C2H2 superfamily expansions in cephalopods and their contribution to nervous system evolution.
Article in iScience, 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
Zinc finger proteins comprise a large family of transcription factors involved in diverse processes, from suppression of transposable elements to regulation of neuronal development. In some clades, including vertebrates and coleoid cephalopods, members of the Cys2His2-type (C2H2) class of zinc fingers were shown to be expanded and likely relevant for neuron differentiation. Using genomic data from three octopus and three squid species, we show that C2H2 evolutionary history can be subdivided into duplication steps: (1) the coleoid expansions, (2) octopus-specific expansions, and (3) squid-specific expansions. While the overall expression patterns are consistent among those expansions and are associated with nervous tissues, the coleoid-specific duplicates showed the highest expression levels compared to all other C2H2 genes. We also found that C2H2 duplicates segregated into different co-expression modules, some associated with other duplicated gene families. We propose a scenario of functional divergence of C2H2 duplicates related to regulation within the cephalopod nervous system.
