Evolutionarily diverse caveolins share a common structural framework built around amphipathic disks.
Article in The Journal of cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Caveolins are a unique family of membrane remodeling proteins present broadly across animals (Metazoa), and in vertebrates form flask-shaped invaginations known as caveolae. While human caveolin-1 assembles into an amphipathic disk composed of 11 spirally packed protomers, the structural basis underlying caveolin function across animals remains elusive. Here, we predicted structures for 73 caveolins spanning animal diversity, as well as a newly identified choanoflagellate caveolin from Salpingoeca rosetta. This analysis revealed seven conserved structural elements and a propensity to assemble into amphipathic disks. Cryo-EM structures of caveolins from S. rosetta choanoflagellate and the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus exhibit striking structural similarities to human caveolin-1, validating the structural predictions. Lastly, tracing the chromosomal evolutionary history of caveolins revealed its parahoxozoan ancestral chromosome and evolutionary branches on which caveolins translocated and expanded. These results show that caveolins possess an ancient structural framework predating Metazoa and provide a new structural paradigm to explore the molecular basis of caveolin function across diverse evolutionary lineages.
