Neurofibromin Encoded by the
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Neurofibromin (NF) inhibits the RAS/RAF/ERK pathway through its interaction with SPRED1 (Sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 1). Here, we investigated the functional relationship between NF and SPRED2 in breast cancer (BC). Human BC cell lines were transfected to downregulate or overexpress NF and SPRED2 and subsequently subjected to functional assays. Protein and mRNA levels were analyzed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR, respectively. Protein-protein interactions were examined by immunoprecipitation. Database analyses and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of BC tissues were performed to validate the in vitro findings. Downregulating NF or SPRED2 expression in BC cells enhanced cell proliferation, migration and invasion accompanied by RAF/ERK activation, whereas overexpression produced opposite effects. NF formed a protein complex with SPRED2 and facilitated its translocation to the plasma membrane. By IHC, SPRED2 membrane localization was absent in NF-negative luminal A and triple-negative BC (TNBC) but present in a subset of luminal A BC. By database analyses, both
