The paradoxical role of SERPINB5 in gastrointestinal cancers: oncogene or tumor suppressor?
Review in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundSERPINB5, also known as Maspin, is a non-inhibitory member of the serine protease inhibitor superfamily. SERPINB5 exerts diverse effects on a variety of human cancers, including cell proliferation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor invasion, and metastasis. SERPINB5 has traditionally been regarded as a tumor suppressor gene, but emerging evidences supports its oncogenic properties.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive review of the existing literature on SERPINB5 in gastrointestinal cancers, synthesizing data on its expression patterns, subcellular localization, epigenetic modifications, and clinical significance.
resultsDepending on its subcellular localization and epigenetic modifications, SERPINB5 demonstrate either protumor or antitumor activity in different gastrointestinal cancers, such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer and liver cancer. We elucidate its potential as a predictive and prognostic biomarker, with a focus on its implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic intervention, emphasizing its utility in early lesion detection and treatment.
conclusionsSERPINB5 plays a complex and context-dependent role in gastrointestinal cancers, highlighting further research to dissect the true significance of SERPINB5 expression and the molecular mechanisms underlying its divergent clinical behaviors in cancer.
