Pan-cancer landscape of UBD/FAT10 and experimental validation in esophageal carcinoma.

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
Objective: To comprehensively characterize the pan-cancer roles of Ubiquitin D (UBD/FAT10) in tumorigenesis, immune regulation, and therapeutic response through integrative multi-omics and expe+rimental analyses. Methods: Utilizing bulk RNA-seq (TCGA/GTEx/CPTAC), immune deconvolution, proteomics, and functional enrichment, we analyzed UBD expression, survival prognosis, immune infiltration, and molecular pathways across 33 cancers. Molecular docking and MD simulations were performed to assess UBD-protein interactions. Through lentivirus-mediated overexpression, functional assays (CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell), transcriptome sequencing, and biochemical validation, we demonstrated that UBD promotes malignant phenotypes in esophageal cancer via the TP53 signaling pathway. Results: UBD was upregulated in 14 cancers but downregulated in thyroid carcinoma (THCA) and kidney chromophobe (KICH). ROC analysis highlighted UBD's diagnostic potential (AUC >0.8 in gastrointestinal tumors). High UBD conferred protection in melanoma (SKCM, HR = 0.891) and sarcoma (SARC, HR = 0.899) but predicted poor outcomes in uveal melanoma (UVM, HR = 1.298) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD, HR = 1.143).UBD positively correlated with the IFN-γ-dominant immune subtype (C2), characterized by CD8+ T cells/M1 macrophages. Drug sensitivity profiling nominated imatinib (Vina score: -8.9 kcal/mol) and TTNPB as potential therapies for UBD-high tumors, validated by stable MD simulations. In esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), UBD expression escalated with tumor stage and predicted poor survival (p<0.05).UBD enhances the proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer cells by modulating the TP53 signaling pathway, as validated through transcriptomic analysis and functional assays. Conclusions: This study advances UBD as a prognostic indicator and therapeutic target, bridging molecular insights with clinical translation in precision oncology.
