1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

IQGAP1, a versatile scaffolding protein, critically regulates cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, proliferation, and signaling cascades. Beyond coordinating these cellular functions, it is increasingly recognized as a key driver in malignancies, immune dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, and cardiovascular pathologies. By binding receptor tyrosine kinases, small GTPases, and downstream effectors, IQGAP1 modulates oncogenesis, immune evasion, and metabolic imbalance, while contributing to chemoresistance. This review synthesizes advances in IQGAP1's structural domains, disease-specific signaling networks, and therapeutic targeting strategies, emphasizing its translational potential in developing precision therapies for cancer, metabolic syndromes, and immune disorders.
