Systematic analysis of IGF2BP family members in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Synthesis in Human genomics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding proteins 1, 2, and 3 (IGF2BP1, IGF2BP2, and IGF2BP3) are known to be involved in tumorigenesis, metastasis, prognosis, and cancer immunity in various human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the literature on NSCLC largely omits the specific context of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), an oversight we aim to address.
methodsOur study evaluated the differential expression of IGF2BP family members in tumors and normal tissues. Meta-analyses were conducted to assess the prognostic value of IGF2BPs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and LUSC. Additionally, correlations between IGF2BPs and tumor immune cell infiltration, mutation characteristics, chemotherapy sensitivity, and tumor mutation burden (TMB) were investigated. GSEA was utilized to delineate biological processes and pathways associated with IGF2BPs.
resultsIGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 expression were found to be upregulated in LUSC patients. IGF2BP2 mRNA levels were correlated with cancer immunity in both LUSC and LUAD patients. A higher frequency of gene mutations was observed in different IGF2BP1/2/3 expression groups in LUAD compared to LUSC. Meta-analyses revealed a significant negative correlation between overall survival (OS) and IGF2BP2/3 expression in LUAD patients but not in LUSC patients. GSEA indicated a positive association between VEGF and IGF2BP family genes in LUAD, while matrix metallopeptidase activity was inversely correlated with IGF2BP family genes in LUSC. Several chemotherapy drugs showed significantly lower IC50 values in high IGF2BP expression groups in both LUAD and LUSC.
conclusionOur findings indicated that IGF2BPs play different roles in LUAD and LUSC. This divergence highlights the need for tailored therapeutic strategies and prognostic tools, cognizant of the unique molecular profiles of LUAD and LUSC.
