NCKAP1 Inhibits the Progression of Renal Carcinoma via Modulating Immune Responses and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway.
Article 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 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
Nck-associated protein 1 (NCKAP1) is critical for cytoskeletal functions and various cellular activities, and deregulation of NCKAP1 in many cancers significantly influences the outcomes of malignant diseases. However, the functions of NCKAP1 in the progression of renal cancer are yet unknown. To investigate the specific roles of NCKAP1 in the immune regulation and tumor progression of renal cancer, the expression of NCKAP1 and genetic variations were analyzed across cancer types at different pathological stages via UALCAN and cBioPortal. Immune cell infiltration in renal cancer was also assessed by ssGSEA and single-cell gene expression data from the GEO. RNA sequencing of NCKAP1-overexpressing 769P cells further examined the impact of NCKAP1 on kidney cancer. Our pancancer analyses revealed a complex NCKAP1 expression profile across various cancer types, with reduced levels in renal cancer patients linked to patient prognosis. CIBERSORT and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed the expression patterns of NCKAP1 in different cell lineages in renal cancer and a significant correlation between NCKAP1 and immune cell infiltration in the kidney tumor microenvironment. We further verified that NCKAP1 suppressed cancer cell growth and affected tumor development in renal cancer via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Our results indicate that NCKAP1 is a potential predictive marker and treatment target for renal cancer.
