The Expanding Role of Aquaporin-1, Aquaporin-3 and Aquaporin-5 as Transceptors: Involvement in Cancer Development and Potential Druggability.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes, including glycerol, hydrogen peroxide and ions, across cell membranes. Beyond their established physiological roles in water regulation and metabolic processes, AQPs also exhibit receptor-like signaling activities in cancer-associated signaling pathways, integrating the dual roles of transporters and receptors, hence functioning as transceptors. This dual functionality underpins their critical involvement in cancer biology, where AQPs play key roles in promoting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, contributing significantly to carcinogenesis. Among the AQPs, AQP1, AQP3 and AQP5 have been consistently identified as being aberrantly expressed in various tumor types. Their overexpression is strongly associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and poor patient prognosis. This review explores the pivotal roles of AQP1, AQP3 and AQP5 as transceptors in cancer biology, underscoring their importance as pharmacological targets. It highlights the urgent need for the development of effective modulators to target these AQPs, offering a promising avenue to enhance current therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment.
