Research progress of ECT2 and RhoA-related signaling pathways in gynecological tumors.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epithelial Cell Transformation Factor 2 (ECT2) is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, including gynecological tumors. The mislocalization of ECT2 can abnormally activate Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) in the Ras homolog gene family (Rho) Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factor (GEF) family. Activated RhoA binds to Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), phosphorylates various target proteins, triggers a cascade reaction, regulates the functions of downstream proteins, and thereby plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. This article reviews the roles of ECT2 and RhoA/ROCK signaling pathways in ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer, and summarizes and discusses the research progress of downstream molecules, transduction pathways, and mechanisms related to them. Through comprehensive analysis and summary of the current research results, it is revealed that the ECT2/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway and related crosstalk pathways play an important role in the occurrence, development, and metastasis of gynecological tumors. This article aims to provide a basis for related research and offer relevant references for the treatment of gynecological tumors in the future.
