NSMF modulates replication stress to facilitate colorectal cancer progression.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. 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
Cancer cells precisely modulate replication stress to sustain genomic instability without triggering lethal DNA damage, yet regulators enabling this delicate balance remain largely unknown. Here, we identify N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor synaptonuclear signaling and neuronal migration factor (NSMF) as a novel and critical regulator of replication stress in colorectal cancer (CRC). NSMF expression is significantly elevated in CRC tissues and correlates closely with elevated replication stress. In ApcMin/+ mouse models, Nsmf knockout selectively induces replication-dependent DNA damage in tumor tissues, suppressing tumor growth and prolonging survival, without harming normal tissues. Mechanistically, NSMF deficiency impairs replication fork progression under stress conditions, resulting in DNA damage accumulation, growth arrest, and senescence. Conversely, NSMF overexpression provides resistance to oncogene-induced replication stress, enabling cancer cells to evade senescence and sustain proliferation. These findings establish NSMF as an essential safeguard against lethal replication stress and highlight its potential as a promising therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
