Role of anoikis-related gene RAC3 in prognosis, immune microenvironment, and contribution to malignant behavior
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 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: Anoikis disrupts the normal apoptotic process in cells, leading to abnormal proliferation and migration, thereby promoting tumor formation and development. However, the role of anoikis in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) still requires further exploration. Methods: Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) were retrieved from the GeneCards and Harmonizome databases to distinguish various subtypes of BLCA and develop a predictive model for BLCA. The immune microenvironment and enrichment pathways between various subtypes were also analyzed using consensus clustering. Potential medications were screened by utilizing drug sensitivity analysis. Results: One hundred thirty differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and nine of them were chosen to construct predictive models that can accurately forecast the prognosis of BLCA patients. K = 2 was correctly identified as the optimal clustering type for BLCA, showing prominent differences in survival rates between the two subgroups. The immune-related functional studies manifested that the two subtypes' immune cell expressions differed. It was verified that RAC3 is an independent prognostic gene for BLCA. RAC3 shows high expression levels in BLCA, as indicated by its consistent mRNA and protein levels across different gene expressions. The functional verification results of RAC3 in BLCA showed that silencing RAC3 can significantly inhibit BLCA cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. RAC3 knockdown inhibited the growth and migration of BLCA Conclusion: Based on the predictive model developed in this study, BLCA patients' prognoses can be accurately predicted. SB505124 could become an important drug in the treatment of BLCA patients. RAC3 is essential in prognosis, immune microenvironment, and malignant behavior of BLCA
