The role of the primary cilium in thyroid function and dysfunction with implications for thyroid disease.
Review in Histochemistry and cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 thyroid gland is a unique endocrine organ, composed of morpho-functional units called thyroid follicles, which are responsible for thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, an iodination process demanding a highly oxidative yet protected environment. Despite primary cilium (PC) being observed in the thyroid gland more than a century ago, its precise role in thyroid activity remains rather unexplored. Given its strategic position at the apical surface of follicular epithelium, projecting into the lumen, PCs are crucial for the regulation of TH biosynthetic processes. Consequently, changes in thyroid function, either physiological or pathological, are reflected in PC characteristics. Similarly, defects in ciliogenesis are expected to lead to different pathological thyroid alterations. This review summarizes the current understanding of PC's involvement in regulating normal thyroid activity and its modifications in functional and neoplastic thyroid diseases. Particular focus will be given to the notable loss of PCs in certain types of thyroid cancer and the promising potential of their restoration as a tumor suppressor strategy in thyroid tumorigenesis.
