RNA-Seq Analysis of Extradomain A and Extradomain B Fibronectin as Extracellular Matrix Markers for Cancer.
Article in Cells, 2023. 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
Alternatively spliced forms of fibronectin, called oncofetal fibronectin, are aberrantly expressed in cancer, with little to no expression in normal tissue, making them attractive biomarkers to exploit for tumor-targeted therapeutics and diagnostics. While prior studies have explored oncofetal fibronectin expression in limited cancer types and limited sample sizes, no studies have performed a large-scale pan-cancer analysis in the context of clinical diagnostics and prognostics to posit the utility of these biomarkers across multiple cancer types. In this study, RNA-Seq data sourced from the UCSC Toil Recompute project were extracted and analyzed to determine the correlation between the expression of oncofetal fibronectin, including extradomain A and extradomain B fibronectin, and patient diagnosis and prognosis. We determined that oncofetal fibronectin is significantly overexpressed in most cancer types relative to corresponding normal tissues. In addition, strong correlations exist between increasing oncofetal fibronectin expression levels and tumor stage, lymph node activity, and histological grade at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, oncofetal fibronectin expression is shown to be significantly associated with overall patient survival within a 10-year window. Thus, the results presented in this study suggest oncofetal fibronectin as a commonly upregulated biomarker in cancer with the potential to be used for tumor-selective diagnosis and treatment applications.
