Targeting INF2 with DiosMetin 7-O-β-D-Glucuronide: a new stratagem for colorectal cancer therapy.
Article in BMC cancer, 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
background and purposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent malignancy in the gastrointestinal tract and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite the identification of numerous biomarkers, their non-specific distribution across different cell types complicates the development of targeted therapies. Therefore, this study aims to identify specific biomarkers for CRC and utilize them for the development of targeted therapies.
methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning were used to analyze INF2 localization in CRC tissues and its prognostic value. Immunohistochemistry, cell biology assays, and computational docking were employed to assess INF2's clinical significance and identify inhibitors.
resultsINF2 was identified as a key prognostic marker in CRC, with elevated expression in advanced-stage tissues. Knockdown of INF2 inhibited CRC cell proliferation and mobility. DiosMetin 7-O-β-D-Glucuronide, a natural compound, selectively inhibited INF2-high CRC cells with minimal toxicity to normal cells.
conclusionINF2 is a CRC-specific biomarker associated with poor prognosis. DiosMetin 7-O-β-D-Glucuronide, as an INF2 inhibitor, shows promise as a targeted therapeutic agent for CRC treatment.
