CD47 as a potential predictive biomarker in colorectal cancer.
Article in Journal for immunotherapy of cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In this week's Journal for ImmunoTherapy for Cancer, Arai and colleagues analyzed next-generation sequencing data for DNA and RNA from 14,287 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) categorized by median CD47 expression level, and showed that CD47, a key component of innate immunity in deflecting phagocytosis, is associated with molecular subtypes of CRC, cell damage-associated molecular pattern-related genes, major oncogenic pathways, and adaptive immune checkpoint genes. Taken together, they concluded that CD47 expression is associated with activation of oncogenic pathways and an immune-engaged tumor microenvironment. Clinical outcomes data also demonstrated that high CD47 is associated with prolonged survival in patients treated with antiangiogenic and checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Biomarker studies such as this will enable broader application of immuno-oncology to patients with CRC and other malignancies.
