Comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role of ITGAV in digestive system cancer progression and immune infiltration.

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: Digestive system cancers are among the most common malignancies, exhibiting consistently high incidence and mortality rates, yet effective detection and treatment targets remain limited. Integrin αv (ITGAV, CD51) is a significant member of the integrin family, widely recognized for its role in mediating interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix, as well as intracellular signaling. In recent years, ITGAV has been found to have significantly elevated expression in multiple tumors, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, and osteosarcoma, and was considered to be a key component in various stages of tumor progression. However, no systematic digestive system cancer analysis has been conducted to explore its function in prognosis, diagnosis, and immunology. Methods: Transcriptome sequencing and clinical data of samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), cBioPortal, TIMER and TISIDB databases. Bioinformatics methods were employed to investigate the potential oncogenicity of ITGAV, focusing specifically on the analysis of its prognosis, diagnostic value, and immune infiltration level of ITGAV in digestive system cancers. In addition, GO, KEGG, and PPI network analysis revealed the biological functions and related signaling pathways related to ITGAV. Finally, the role of ITGAV in regulating cancer progression was experimentally verified using hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer as examples. Results: We found that ITGAV was highly expressed in multiple digestive system cancers. In addition, high expression of ITGAV was closely associated with poor prognosis and showed potential for early diagnosis. Enrichment of pathways related to extracellular matrix organizing processes and tumor migratory movements was identified. Conclusion: Our results elucidated the importance of ITGAV in the prognostic assessment, early diagnosis, and targeted immunotherapy of digestive system cancers, and revealed its multifaceted role in regulating cancer progression.
