The Impact of Klotho in Cancer: From Development and Progression to Therapeutic Potential.
Review in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Klotho, initially identified as an anti-aging gene, has been shown to play significant roles in cancer biology. Alongside α-Klotho, the β-Klotho and γ-Klotho isoforms have also been studied; these studies showed that Klotho functions as a potential tumor suppressor in many different cancers by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis and modulating critical signaling pathways such as the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/Akt pathways. In cancers such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, reduced Klotho expression often correlates with a poor prognosis. In addition, Klotho's role in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and its epigenetic regulation further underscores its potential as a target for cancer treatments. This review details Klotho's multifaceted contributions to cancer suppression and its potential as a therapeutic target, enhancing the understanding of its significance in cancer treatment and prognoses.
