Uncovering BTB and CNC Homology1 (BACH1) as a Novel Cancer Therapeutic Target.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BTB and CNC homology1 (BACH1), working as a transcriptional factor, is demonstrated to function on the regulation of epigenetic modifications by complex regulatory networks. Although BACH1 is reported as an oncogene, the overall analysis of its role remains lacking. In this study, we uncovered the capacity of BACH1 as a new pan-cancer therapeutic target. We found that BACH1 is highly expressed in abundant cancers and correlated with the poor prognosis of most cancers. The mutation sites of BACH1 varied in different cancer types and correlated to patients' prognoses. The tumor mutation burden (TMB) in four cancer species and up to six tumor infiltrated immune cells had a significant relevance with BACH1. The enrichment analysis showed that the BACH1-associated genes were significantly enriched in the pathways of PD-1/L1 expression, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, T cell receptor, Th17 cell differentiation. We then demonstrated that BACH1 is positively correlated with the expression of many candidate genes, incluing SRPK2, GCLM, SLC40A1, and HK2 but negatively correlated with the expression of KEAP1 and GAPDH. Overall, our data shed light on BACH1's effect on latent utility in cancer targeting therapy.
