Targeting Autophagy and the Anticipatory Unfolded Protein Response Leads to Increased Breast Cancer Cell Death.
Article in microPublication biology, 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
Activation of the anticipatory unfolded protein response (aUPR) by the small molecule 3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methyl-1,3,dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (BHPI) leads to necrotic cell death in a variety of cancer cells containing Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα). A key feature of BHPI's mechanism of action is depletion of cellular ATP. Other pathways such as autophagy can regulate cellular energy levels and ATP production. We present data that suggests targeting both the aUPR and autophagy leads to a significant increase in cell death in T47D and TYS breast cancer cells treated with BHPI. This combination presents itself as a possible therapeutic strategy against breast cancer.
