KIF14 in cancer biology: implications for diagnosis and therapy.
Review in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2026. 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
Kinesin family member 14 (KIF14), a microtubule-associated motor protein, plays a crucial role in cytoskeletal dynamics, intracellular transport, and cell division. Oncological studies have consistently reported KIF14 overexpression across various cancers, including breast, ovarian, lung, liver, and brain tumors, associating it with poor clinical outcomes, increased tumor aggressiveness, and resistance to conventional therapies. This review comprehensively analyzed the involvement of KIF14 in cancer progression, particularly its roles in cell cycle regulation, mitotic spindle formation, and oncogenic signaling pathways. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms underlying its tumorigenic effects, its potential as a prognostic biomarker, and its viability as a therapeutic target are explored. The expanding understanding of KIF14's oncogenic functions present promising opportunities for developing novel therapeutic strategies aimed at this key regulator of tumor growth and metastasis, addressing the urgent need for treatments targeting aggressive and therapy-resistant malignancies.
