High expression of cuproptosis-related gene FDX1 in relation to good prognosis and immune cells infiltration in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
backgroundCuproptosis induced by FDX1 is a newly discovered mechanism regulating cell death. However, the role of FDX1 in the pathogenesis of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains to be studied.
methodsFDX1 expression was analyzed with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. Association between FDX1 expression and COAD prognosis was investigated via the Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curve. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of FDX1 were screened with R packages and the PPI were constructed via STRING database. Cytoscape software was used to detect the most profound modules in the PPIs network. CancerSEA database was used to analyze the effect of FDX1 expression levels on different functional status of COAD cells. The relationship between FDX1 expression and immune infiltration of COAD was analyzed by TIMER2.0 database. The COAD patients with high expression of FDX1 by Western blot, and the levels of immune infiltration were measured by flow cytometry.
resultsFDX1 was low expressed in most cancers, such as BRCA, KICH, and COAD. The overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of COAD with high FDX1 expression were better than that of the low expression group. GO-KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that FDX1 and its co-expressed genes played an important role in the pathogenesis of COAD. Moreover, FDX1 expression in COAD were positively associated with "quiescence" and "inflammation" but negatively correlated with "invasion". FDX1 expression was positively correlated with infiltration levels of CD8
conclusionFDX1 plays a role in inducing cuproptosis and modulating tumor immunity, which could be considered as potential therapeutic targets in COAD.
