Unwinding new therapeutic opportunities in rhabdomyosarcoma: the role of RNA helicase DDX5.
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
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft tissue tumors in children and is primarily classified into two subtypes: alveolar (ARMS) and embryonal (ERMS). Among these, ARMS is the more aggressive form, often driven by chromosomal translocations that give rise to PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion proteins, which act as oncogenic transcription factors. Despite advancements in treatment and improved survival rates over recent years, effective and targeted therapies for RMS remain a significant clinical challenge. A family of proteins known as the DEAD-box RNA helicases plays a critical role in RNA metabolism as well as in a variety of cellular processes beyond RNA regulation. Among them, DDX5 has emerged as a protein of particular interest. Aberrant expression and functional alterations of DDX5 have been reported in multiple cancers, including RMS, where its overexpression is associated with enhanced tumor growth and cancer cell proliferation. In this review, we highlight recent discoveries that position DDX5 as a promising therapeutic target in RMS, focusing on its oncogenic functions and its contribution to tumorigenesis and cancer progression.
