Emerging Role of the DREAM Complex in Cancer and Therapeutic Opportunities.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The DREAM (dimerization partner, RB-like, E2F, and multi-vulval class B) complex is an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional repression complex that coordinates nearly one thousand target genes, primarily associated with the cell cycle processes. The formation of the DREAM complex consequently inhibits cell cycle progression and induces cellular quiescence. Given its unique role in cell cycle control, the DREAM complex has gained significant interest across various physiological and pathological contexts, particularly in conditions marked by dysregulated cell cycles, such as cancer. However, the specific cancer types most significantly affected by alterations in the DREAM complex are yet to be determined. Moreover, the possibility of restoring or pharmacologically targeting the DREAM complex as a therapeutic intervention against cancer remains a relatively unexplored area of research and is currently under active investigation. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest advances in understanding the DREAM complex, focusing on its role in cancer. We also explore strategies for targeting the DREAM complex as a potential approach for cancer therapeutics. Advances in understanding the precise role of the DREAM complex in cancer, combined with ongoing efforts to develop targeted therapies, may pave the way for new options in cancer therapy.
