Prevalence and Functional Roles of Intrinsic Disorder in the [F-actin]-monooxygenase MICAL Family Members and their Interactors.
Article in Cell biochemistry and biophysics, 2026. 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
Members of the family of molecule interacting with CASL protein (MICAL) proteins play crucial roles in the cytoskeleton rearrangements by promoting depolymerization of F-actin via oxidation of the specific methionine residues to methionine-sulfoxides. These proteins also have multiple other functions and are related to the pathogenesis of various maladies. However, not much is known about the prevalence and functionality of intrinsically disordered regions in MICALs. To fill this gap, we conducted a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of five human MICAL protein family members, MICAL1, MICAL2, MICAL3, MICAL-L1, and MICAL-L2, to assess their intrinsic disorder characteristics. We also focused on the top most disordered interactors of these proteins. We utilized a set of bioinformatics tools, FuzDrop, RIDAO, InterPro, IuPred, STRING, AlphaFold, and UniProt, for the extensive analysis of these proteins. This analysis revealed that all five MICALs are highly disordered; they take part in myriad of cellular functions, and are also involved in pathogenesis of various diseases, such as neurodegeneration, cancer, and muscle dystrophy. Our study focused on the intrinsic disorder of these proteins to highlight important implications of disorder in protein functionality. These insights may help to find out potential therapeutic targets in biological processes controlled by MICAL proteins.
