Network toxicology and single-cell analysis reveal molecular mechanisms of DEHP-induced colorectal cancer.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common environmental pollutant associated with colorectal cancer (CRC), but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Hence, we integrated toxicological target screening, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and 113 machine learning algorithms to construct a diagnostic model for DEHP-related CRC. Single-cell transcriptomics and molecular docking were further applied to analyze the cellular distribution of key genes and the interactions between DEHP and target proteins. Five core genes (MMP7, CDK4, MMP1, CNR1, and TNFRSF1A) were identified and linked to inflammation, cell cycle regulation, and PI3K-Akt signaling. Thus, we report the molecular basis of DEHP-induced CRC progression providing a novel strategy for identifying environmental carcinogenic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
