CTPS1 promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression as a targetable vulnerability.
Article in British journal of cancer, 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
backgroundCytidine triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1), a rate-limiting enzyme in nucleotide biosynthesis, is frequently upregulated in cancers. However, its functional role and therapeutic potential in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain poorly defined.
methodsWe integrated proteomic analyses, tissue microarrays, and functional assays to evaluate CTPS1 expression and clinical significance in LUAD. Genetic knockdown and pharmacological inhibition with the selective inhibitor STP938 assessed malignant phenotypes. The therapeutic efficacy of STP938, alone or combined with osimertinib, was evaluated in xenograft models. Integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analyses explored underlying mechanisms.
resultsCTPS1 was significantly upregulated in LUAD and associated with lymph node metastasis and poor overall survival (OS), serving as an independent prognostic factor. CTPS1 promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion while suppressing apoptosis. STP938 inhibited tumour growth in vitro and in vivo, and enhanced the efficacy of osimertinib in EGFR-mutant models. Multi-omics analyses identified MX1-associated interferon signalling as a downstream pathway, with MX1 expression positively correlating with CTPS1 and poor prognosis.
conclusionsCTPS1 drives LUAD progression and is linked to MX1-associated interferon signalling. Targeting CTPS1 with STP938, alone or in combination with osimertinib, represents a promising therapeutic strategy and supports CTPS1 as a targetable vulnerability in LUAD.
