Protein lipidation in the tumor microenvironment: enzymology, signaling pathways, and therapeutics.
Review in Molecular cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Protein lipidation is a pivotal post-translational modification that increases protein hydrophobicity and influences their function, localization, and interaction network. Emerging evidence has shown significant roles of lipidation in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, a comprehensive review of this topic is lacking. In this review, we present an integrated and in-depth literature review of protein lipidation in the context of the TME. Specifically, we focus on three major lipidation modifications: S-prenylation, S-palmitoylation, and N-myristoylation. We emphasize how these modifications affect oncogenic signaling pathways and the complex interplay between tumor cells and the surrounding stromal and immune cells. Furthermore, we explore the therapeutic potential of targeting lipidation mechanisms in cancer treatment and discuss prospects for developing novel anticancer strategies that disrupt lipidation-dependent signaling pathways. By bridging protein lipidation with the dynamics of the TME, our review provides novel insights into the complex relationship between them that drives tumor initiation and progression.
