Regulation of Energy Metabolism and Lipid Metabolites by IMP3 in Cervical Cancer.
Article in Current issues in molecular 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
Cervical cancer outcomes remain suboptimal, underscoring the need to define molecular drivers that can be therapeutically exploited. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3) has been implicated in tumor biology, but its role in cellular metabolism is not well characterized. Here, we investigate the metabolic consequences of IMP3 suppression in HeLa cells and integrate these findings with transcriptomic analyses of clinical datasets. siRNA-mediated knockdown of IMP3 reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and altered cellular energy status, as evidenced by changes in ATP/ADP and NADP+/NADPH ratios, alongside shifts in key intermediary metabolites. Complementary bioinformatic analyses of Gene Expression Omnibus datasets revealed that cervical cancers with high IMP3 expression exhibit coordinated deregulation of metabolic, cell-cycle, and inflammatory response pathways relative to normal cervical tissue. Consistent with these signatures, IMP3 silencing produced pronounced effects on lipid metabolic readouts in vitro. Together, these data identify IMP3 as a regulator of energy and lipid metabolism in cervical cancer and support its evaluation as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
