NDRG1 as a sensor and mediator of endothelial stress: from homeostasis to inflammation and cardiovascular disease.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a multifunctional, stress-responsive protein with pleiotropic roles across diverse cell types. Although extensively studied in cancer, recent evidence points to its emerging, context-dependent functions in vascular endothelial cells. In this mini-review, we synthesize current knowledge on the regulation of NDRG1 under environmental stressors, such as hypoxia, inflammation, disturbed shear stress and heavy metal (iron, nickel, copper and cobalt) and its impact on endothelial homeostasis. We highlight NDRG1's involvement in key processes including vascular inflammation, thrombosis, permeability and remodeling. Drawing parallels with its dualistic role in tumor biology, we propose that NDRG1 acts as a dynamic integrator of environmental cues in the endothelium, orchestrating adaptive or maladaptive responses depending on microenvironmental context. These insights support a broader conceptual framework positioning NDRG1 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease.
