Semaphorin 6D drives anti-tumor type I interferon responses to reprogram the tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) persists as the third most prevalent cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide, largely due to late diagnosis, limited treatment efficacy, and poor response to immunotherapy. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely characterized. This study identified Semaphorin 6D (SEMA6D) as a potential tumor suppressor that was markedly underexpressed in CRC and associated with poor prognosis. Promoter hypermethylation emerges as the primary mechanism underlying its transcriptional silencing, with notably low expression observed in CIMP-H, MSI-H, CMS4 and CMS1 subtypes. Functional experiments demonstrated that SEMA6D overexpression significantly attenuated cellular proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and migratory capacity in vitro, while concurrently suppressing tumor growth and metastatic spread in vivo. Conversely, SEMA6D depletion induced pro-tumorigenic phenotypes. Moreover, SEMA6D enhanced anti-tumor immunity by enhancing the infiltration of CD4
