Junction Plakoglobin - A Dual-Role Player in Cancer Biology.
Review in International journal of surgery (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Junction plakoglobin (JUP) is a critical cell adhesion molecule implicated in mediating cell-cell adhesion. Cancer, characterized by the loss of normal cellular regulation, results in unchecked proliferation and the breakdown of cell-cell junctions, facilitating malignant cell invasion into surrounding tissues. Recent studies have highlighted the involvement of JUP in the transduction of various intercellular signaling pathways, underscoring its significant role in tumor initiation, progression, and prognosis. In contrast to its homolog β-catenin, the interplay between JUP and cancer remains underexplored. To clarify JUP's role and underlying mechanisms in cancer progression, this review examines recent advancements, focusing on JUP's regulation of key cancer-related signaling pathways, such as Wnt/β-catenin, p53, and cadherin-mediated pathways. The review also investigates JUP's relevance across various cancer types, including those of the reproductive, digestive, and urinary systems. Mechanistically, JUP exhibits context-dependent actions in different cancers, demonstrating dual roles in tumorigenesis. Lastly, the potential of JUP as a target for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and prognostic prediction in cancer is evaluated. In conclusion, targeting JUP offers a promising avenue for cancer therapy, providing valuable insights for future research.
