Integrin-α5 expression and its role in non-small cell lung cancer progression.
Article in Cancer science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Integrins are transmembrane receptors that facilitate cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and neighboring cells. Aberrant expression of integrins has been associated with tumor progression and metastasis in various cancer types. Integrin alpha-5 (ITGA5) is an integrin subtype that serves as a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, and fibrillin-1. The purpose of this study was to elucidate how ITGA5 expression plays a role in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our clinical data, along with data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Database (TCGA), revealed that high ITGA5 expression in NSCLC patients was associated with a lower recurrence-free survival and overall survival. In our in vitro functional assays, ITGA5 overexpression in human NSCLC cell lines resulted in increased cell size, adhesion, and migration properties, while knockdown of ITGA5 restored the phenotypes. Correspondingly, knockdown and inhibition of ITGA5 in endogenously high-expressing NSCLC cell lines resulted in decreased cell size, adhesion, migration, and proliferation. The antiproliferative effect was also confirmed by a reduction in Ki-67 without discernible changes in apoptosis. Collectively, these findings reveal the significant role of ITGA5 in various functional behaviors in NSCLC, providing a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC patients with high ITGA5 expression.
