Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Immunological Roles of FABP4 in Pancancer: A Bioinformatics Analysis.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is mainly involved in the regulation of systemic metabolism through various lipid signaling pathways. Metabolic reprogramming is one of the important factors in the development and progression of cancer. It has been recently reported that FABP4 is closely related to the development of cancer and may be involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Methods: In this study, we explored the expression pattern of FABP4 in pancancer through TCGA and CPTAC. Using TCGA, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and STRING databases, to explore its diagnostic and prognostic value, and function through GO/KEGG and GSEA. Then, using the TIMER2.0 database, we investigated the correlation between FABP4 expression and immune infiltration in cancers, especially stomach adenocarcinomas (STAD) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (COADREAD). Results: Compared with normal tissues, the expression of FABP4 in more than 10 tumor tissues was lower ( Conclusion: FABP4 can be used as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in pancancer, and its high expression in gastrointestinal tumors suggests poor prognosis. This may be correlated to the immune infiltration of macrophages and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
