Enhanced Expression of Mitochondrial Magmas Protein in Ovarian Carcinomas: Magmas Inhibition Facilitates Antitumour Effects, Signifying a Novel Approach for Ovarian Cancer Treatment.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mitochondrial-associated granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Magmas) is a unique protein located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, with an active role in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cellular systems. Ovarian cancer (OC), one of the deadliest gynaecological cancers, is characterised by genomic instability, affected by ROS production in the tumour microenvironment. This manuscript discusses the role of Magmas and efficacy of its novel small molecule inhibitor BT#9 in OC progression, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Magmas expression levels were significantly elevated in high-grade human OC compared to benign tumours by immunohistochemistry. The inhibition of Magmas by BT#9 enhanced ROS production and reduced mitochondrial membrane permeability, basal respiration, mitochondrial ATP production, and cellular functions, such as the proliferation and migration of OC cell lines in vitro. Oral administration of BT#9 in vivo significantly reduced tumour growth and spread and enhanced the survival of mice without having any effect on the peritoneal organs. These data suggest that Magmas is functionally important for OC growth and spread by affecting ROS levels and that the inhibition of Magmas activity by BT#9 may provide novel clinical benefits for patients with this malignancy.
