A pan-cancer study of ADAM9's immunological function and prognostic value particularly in liver cancer.
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 6 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
A pan-cancer analysis summarizing the overall changes in mRNA and protein stability of ADM9, as well as its oncogenic function on immune cell line modulation and checkpoints within the tumor microenvironment (TME), is lacking, despite the fact that ADM9 up-regulation is correlated with the progression of many cancers. Therefore, in this study, we comprehensively analyzed the role of ADAM9 expression and its prognostic value in different cancers to fill this gap. Multiple bioinformatics databases such as Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) were used to evaluate the ADAM9 genetic alternation, phosphorylation, and methylation, and indicated highly positive correlated genes that might play a critical interaction with ADAM9 and their molecular function with GO analysis. We also evaluate the effect of higher ADAM9 with prominent immune modulatory genes and immune infiltration especially in liver cancer pathogenesis stimulates lower NK cell effector functions based on its role in MICA shedding and increasing the Tregs infiltration. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining from 90 pathologically verified samples proved the positive correlation between ADAM9 and tumor stages and proved the higher expression of ADAM9 correlated genes (SNX9, APP, TNF, CDH1, ITGAV, MAD2L2) in HCC pathogenesis. In conclusion, this pan-cancer study provides a comprehensive understanding of the prognostic value of ADAM9 in various tumors emphasizing its importance to be considered as an innovative treatment approach, especially in tumor immunity shortly.
