Expression Profile of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Lung Adenocarcinoma: GRM5 and Validation of Its Targeting Drug Cinchonine.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 incidence and mortality rates of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) continue to rise, highlighting an urgent need for novel therapeutic targets. In this study, bioinformatics analysis revealed that members of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) family are significantly correlated with the expression profile, prognosis, genetic mutations, and tumor immune microenvironment of LUAD, with GRM5 being the most significantly associated member. Overexpression of GRM5 has been shown to inhibit LUAD proliferation and induce apoptosis, while cinchonine (CN) treatment further enhances these effects, suggesting that CN may act as a GRM5 agonist to synergistically exert antitumor activity. Transcriptome sequencing further identified four key downstream targets and their associated signaling pathways. In summary, this study confirms that GRM5 can serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for LUAD, while the small-molecule compound CN shows promise as an antitumor candidate drug targeting GRM5.
