EphA2 regulates vascular permeability and prostate cancer metastasis via modulation of cell junction protein phosphorylation.
Article in Oncogene, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Prostate cancer morbidity and mortality demonstrate a need for more effective targeted therapies. One potential target is EphA2, although paradoxically, pro- and anti-oncogenic effects have been shown to be mediated by EphA2. We demonstrate that unique activating and blocking EphA2-targeting monoclonal antibodies display opposing tumor-suppressive and oncogenic properties in vivo. To further explore this complexity, we performed detailed phosphoproteomic analysis following ligand-induced EphA2 activation. Our analysis identified altered phosphorylation of 73 downstream proteins related to the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK/MAPK pathways, with the majority implicated in cell junction and cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, and tumor metastasis. We demonstrate that the adapter protein SHB is an essential component in mediating the inhibition of the ERK/MAPK pathway in response to EphA2 receptor activation. Furthermore, we identify the adherence junction protein afadin as an EphA2-regulated phosphoprotein which is involved in prostate cancer migration and invasion.
