Pan-cancer analysis of Sushi domain-containing protein 4 (SUSD4) and validated in colorectal cancer.
Article in Aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sushi domain-containing protein 4 (SUSD4) is a complement regulatory protein whose primary function is to inhibit the complement system, and it is involved in immune regulation. The role of SUSD4 in cancer progression has largely remained elusive. SUSD4 was studied across a variety of cancer types in this study. According to the results, there is an association between the expression level of SUSD4 and prognosis in multiple types of cancer. Further analysis demonstrated that SUSD4 expression level was related to immune cell infiltration, immune-related genes, tumor heterogeneity, and multiple cancer pathways. Additionally, we validated the function of SUSD4 in colorectal cancer cell lines and found that knockdown of SUSD4 inhibited cell growth and impacted the JAK/STAT pathway. By characterizing drug sensitivity in organoids, we found that the expression of SUSD4 showed a positive correlation trend with IC50 of Selumetinib, YK-4-279, and Piperlongumine. In conclusion, SUSD4 is a valuable prognostic indicator for diverse types of cancer, and it has the potential to be a target for cancer therapy.
