ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF-β signaling.
Article in FEBS letters, 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
ERBIN acts as a negative regulator of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/SMAD signaling pathways that play a role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the role of ERBIN in EMT is poorly understood. Our results show that ERBIN inhibits TGF-β-induced EMT in NMuMG breast and in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN inhibits TGF-β/SMAD-dependent gene expression and also interferes with TGF-β-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation. Moreover, when the TGF-β type I receptor kinase activity is inhibited, the mesenchymal state of ERBIN-depleted A549 cells is reduced. Pharmacological inhibition of TGF-β receptor and EGFR signaling counteracts increased EMT and migration in A549 ERBIN-depleted cells. Our findings identify ERBIN as a key suppressor of EMT through coordinated inhibition of TGF-β and EGFR signaling pathways.
