Forkhead box D subfamily genes in colorectal cancer: potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The forkhead box (FOX) family members regulate gene transcription and expression. FOX family members regulate various biological processes, such as cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. FOXD, a FOX protein subfamily, is associated with poor prognosis for various cancers. However, the potential clinical value of FOXD subfamily members in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the role of the FOXD subfamily members in CRC development. Methods: Using HTSeq-count data, clinical data, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas Project), and bioinformatics analyses (using DESEQ2 software), we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CRC. Next, each DEG expression was validated Results: Among the FOXD subfamily members, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of FOXD3 was 0.949, indicating that FOXD3 has a high overall diagnostic accuracy for CRC. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that FOXD-DEGs were mainly related to pathways such as cytokine, cytokine, and extracellular matrix receptor interactions. Kaplan-Meier curves and nomograms showed that FOXD1, FOXD3, and FOXD4 were prognostically significant. In conclusion, FOXD subfamily members (especially FOXD3) could serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for CRC and an immunotherapy target in patients with CRC.
