Epigenetically-Upregulated CD98 Shed Light on the Precancerous Diagnosis and Prognosis Prediction of Esophageal Cancer.
Article in Cancer science, 2025. 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
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has a significantly low survival rate, primarily due to the lack of diagnostic markers for early diagnosis and effective therapies. Recently, CD98 has been proposed as a specific marker of mature esophageal basal cells, which may be associated with esophageal carcinogenesis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical significance and biological function of CD98 in ESCC progression, as well as the value of CD98 as a potential new marker for the early diagnosis of ESCC. Through MassARRAY system spectroscopy, DIA proteomics analysis, immunohistochemical and functional experiments, we found hypomethylation-linked upregulation of CD98 expression, which was associated with poor prognosis, promoted cell proliferation by regulating the cell cycle in ESCC. Furthermore, we not only demonstrated that the range of CD98 expression was consistent with that of dysplastic cells in 73.81% of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) and 83.08% of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) cases, but also confirmed the expression level of CD98 was positively correlated with the classical diagnosis marker P53. Compared to using P53 alone, the combination of the immunohistochemical markers CD98 and P53 (either one was positive) provided more accurate diagnostic data for LGIN (92.86% vs. 88.10%, p < 0.01) and HGIN (93.85% vs. 73.85%, p < 0.01). In summary, we propose that CD98 is involved in a crucial step in ESCC carcinogenesis, and when combined with P53, may serve as a diagnostic marker for ESCC precancerous lesions.
