Deciphering the oncogenic potential of ADAM9 in hepatocellular carcinoma through bioinformatics and experimental approaches.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This study investigates the role and mechanisms of ADAM9 as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target in HCC. Utilizing RNA-sequencing data and clinicopathological characteristics from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, we conducted survival and meta-analyses, functional enrichment, and immune infiltration studies. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of ADAM9 silencing on HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through in vitro experiments. Our results demonstrate that high ADAM9 expression is associated with poor prognosis and increased immune infiltration in HCC patients. Furthermore, ADAM9 knockdown significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration. These findings indicate that ADAM9 is a promising prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in HCC. In conclusion, ADAM9 could offer avenues for developing strategies to inhibit tumor progression and improve patient outcomes.
