Network toxicology reveals glyphosate mechanisms in kidney injury and cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Molecular mechanisms underlying glyphosate-induced nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity were investigated through integrated network toxicology, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations. Screening identified 47 potential glyphosate targets; intersection analysis yielded 20 kidney injury and 31 kidney cancer shared targets. Protein-protein interaction networks highlighted matrix metalloproteinases (MMP9, MMP2, MMP8, MMP3) and PLG as topological hubs. Pathway enrichment revealed significant alterations in extracellular matrix reorganization and nitrogen metabolism. Molecular modeling demonstrated stable glyphosate binding within catalytic domains of MMPs (affinities: -5.03 to - 6.29 kcal/mol), with dynamics simulations confirming persistent complex formation over 100 ns. Results indicate MMP-mediated dysregulation of structural homeostasis, alongside metabolic pathway perturbation, as contributory factors in glyphosate-associated renal pathology. The prominence of MMPs across target networks and functional analyses suggests their role as molecular conduits for glyphosate toxicity.
