Oncogenic properties of wild-type DNA repair gene FANCA in breast cancer.
Article in Cell 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
FANCA is one of the 23 genes whose deficiencies lead to defective DNA interstrand crosslink repair and cancer-prone Fanconi anemia disease. Beyond its functions in DNA repair and tumor suppression, we report that high FANCA expression is strongly associated with breast cancer development. Overexpression of WT-FANCA significantly promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, while FANCA deficiency severely compromises the proliferation of breast cancer cells, but not non-tumorigenic breast epithelial cells. Heterozygous knockout of FANCA in breast cancer mouse models is sufficient to cause significant reduction of breast tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we have shown that high FANCA expression in breast cancer correlates with promoter hypomethylation in a TET-dependent manner, and TET inhibition recapitulates the proliferation defects caused by FANCA deficiency. Our study identifies the oncogenic properties of WT-FANCA and shows that FANCA is a promising target for breast cancer intervention.
