The impact of SLC10A3 on prognosis and immune microenvironment in colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSLC10A3, a gene upregulated in pan-cancer, lacks full understanding regarding its prognostic implications and association with immune infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study comprehensively analyzed SLC10A3 in CRC, evaluating its prognostic significance and influence on the tumor's immune microenvironment.
methodsTranscriptomic data from TCGA were obtained to compare SLC10A3 expression in both colorectal cancer (CRC) and normal tissues. Prognostic value was assessed for overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI). DNA methylation patterns of SLC10A3 and correlation with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) were explored. Genetic alterations in SLC10A3 were scrutinized. The study also delved into the influence of SLC10A3 on the immune microenvironment of CRC, including immune cell infiltration and chemokines. Involvement of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) was explored. Methylation status of specific CpG islands in the SLC10A3 gene correlated with CRC patient prognosis. CRC tissue microarray was performed to verify the expression of SLC10A3 and its relationship with prognosis.
resultsThe research revealed that SLC10A3 is significantly upregulated in CRC and holds promise as a potential diagnostic marker. Elevated SLC10A3 expression was linked to poorer OS, DSS, and PFI. Methylation patterns of SLC10A3 displayed prognostic relevance, and genetic alterations in the gene were identified. SLC10A3 was shown to impact the immune microenvironment, with significant correlations observed between its expression and various immune cell types, chemokines, and markers associated with CAFs. Furthermore, an inverse relationship between SLC10A3 and MMR molecules was established. Methylation status of specific CpG islands within the SLC10A3 gene was associated with CRC patient prognosis. Tissue microarray showed that SLC10A3 was highly expressed in CRC and significantly correlated with poor prognosis.
conclusionThe study underscores the importance of elevated SLC10A3 in CRC, associating it with decreased survival and immune infiltration, proposing it as a diagnostic biomarker and appealing immunotherapy target, given its significant overexpression and influence on the immune microenvironment and prognosis through methylation patterns.
