Insights into the prognostic value and immunological role of CD74 in pan-cancer.
Article in Discover oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCD74 is a non-polymorphic type II transmembrane glycoprotein. It is involved in the regulation of T and B cell development, and dendritic cell (DC) motility. Numerous studies have found that CD74 exerts an essential role in tumor immunity, but the expression profile of CD74 is still not systematically reported, and its value in human pan-cancer analysis is unknown. In this study, we analyzed the expression pattern of CD74 in 33 cancers, and evaluated the significance of CD74 in prognosis prediction and cancer immunity.
methodsPan-cancer dataset from UCSC Xena.We used the Sangerbox website combined with R software' Timer, CIBERSORT method and IOBR package to analyze and plot the data. Survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test for 33 cancer types (p < 0.05). In addition, to explore the relationship between CD74 expression and immune checkpoints, immune cell infiltration, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI), Spearman correlation analysis was performed.
resultsThis study comprehensively analyzed CD74 expression in 33 different tumor types, revealing that CD74 play an crucial role in cancer formation and development.
conclusionsCD74 gene expression in different cancers is associated with immune cell infiltration and immunomodulators and may provide a promising target for survival and immunotherapy. Our study shows that CD74 has an essential role as a biomarker of prognosis during tumor development, which highlights the possibility of new targeted therapies.
