Decoding gene expression profiles of Hippo signaling pathway components in breast cancer.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. 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
introductionThe Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved, tumor suppressor, stem cell pathway. This is the very less explored pathway in Breast Cancer. It is a crucial regulator of several biological processes, such as organ size, differentiation, tissue homeostasis, cellular proliferation, and stemness. Interestingly, deregulation of this pathway leads to tumorigenesis. Hence, the present study aims to identify the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in Breast Cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe mRNA expression of the Hippo signaling pathway molecules was evaluated in 120 pre-therapeutic patients by quantitative real-time PCR. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 23. The association between the gene expression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed by the paired sample t-test, and Pearson chi-square test. ROC curve analysis was carried out using Med Cal. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe hippo signaling pathway contains 10 core components i.e.SAV1, MOB1A, MOB1B, MST1, MST2, LATS1, LATS2, YAP, TAZ, and TEAD1 which were downregulated in malignant tissues as compared to adjacent normal tissue in breast cancer. In the correlation of hippo signaling pathway molecules with clinico pathological parameters, only LATS1, MST1, and SAV1 were found to be significantly negatively associated with stages of Breast Cancer. MOB1B was found to be significantly positively correlated with stages of Breast Cancer. ROC curve analysis of YAP, TAZ, LATS2, and TEAD showed significant discrimination between adjacent normal and malignant tissue.
conclusionIn the current study, all the molecules of the hippo signaling pathway i.e. YAP, TAZ, LATS1, LATS2, MST1, MST2, SAV1, MOB1, MOB1B, TEAD1 were downregulated in BC suggesting the activation of hippo pathway which played a significant role in tumor suppression.
