Disrupting Cell Cycle Machinery: CREPT Is an Emerging Target in Cancer Therapy.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 transcriptional co-factor cell-cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumors (CREPT) has emerged as a critical driver of the cell cycle and a significant contributor to tumorigenesis. The aberrant expression or upregulation of CREPT boosts multiple signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin, STAT3 and NF-κB/TNFR2, which are frequently dysregulated in various cancers and are associated with poor overall survival. In preclinical studies, CREPT knockdown via shRNA has demonstrated sustained tumor growth regression. Recent researches have uncovered additional functions of CREPT, including roles in metabolic regulation, tissue repair, and microenvironmental remodeling, further establishing it as a pleiotropic transcriptional regulator. Currently, there is no therapeutic agent that directly inhibits CREPT expression in clinic. However, miRNAs and other methods have been used to target CREPT, which have yielded useful results in inhibiting tumor growth. In this review, we discuss the role of CREPT in the hallmarks of cancer and propose that targeting CREPT will reverse tumor growth and may improve the immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination in CREPT-driven cancers.
