Comprehensive in silico analysis of prognostic and immune infiltrates for FGFs in human ovarian cancer.
Article in Journal of ovarian research, 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
backgroundFibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are cell signaling proteins that perform multiple biological processes in many biological processes (cell development, repair, and metabolism). The dynamics of tumor cells, such as angiogenesis, transformation, and proliferation, have a significant impact on neoplasia and are modulated by FGFs. FGFs' expression and prognostic significance in ovarian cancer (OC), however, remain unclear.
methodsThrough a series of in silico analysis, we investigated the transcriptional, survival data, genetic variation, gene-gene interaction network, ferroptosis-related genes, and DNA methylation of FGFs in OC patients.
resultsWe discovered that while FGF18 expression levels were higher in OC tissues than in normal OC tissues, FGF2/7/10/17/22 expression levels were lower in the former, and that FGF1/19 expression was related to the tumor stage in OC patients. According to the survival analysis, the clinical prognosis of individuals with OC was associated with the aberrant expression of FGFs. The function of FGFs and their neighboring genes was mainly connected to the cellular response to FGF stimulus. There was a negative correlation between FGF expression and various immune cell infiltration.
conclusionsThis study clarifies the relationship between FGFs and OC, which might provide new insights into the choice of prognostic biomarkers of OC patients.
