BIRC5 as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker in pan-cancer: an integrated analysis of expression, immune subtypes, and functional networks.

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
Introduction: BIRC5 (Survivin) is a crucial anti-apoptotic protein overexpressed in various cancers, promoting tumor growth and treatment resistance. This study investigates its expression across 33 cancer types and explores its diagnostic, prognostic, and immune-related significance. Methods: We analyzed RNA-seq data from TCGA and protein expression data from the Human Protein Atlas. Expression levels were compared between tumor and normal tissues. Correlations with molecular and immune subtypes were explored using TISIDB. Prognostic significance was evaluated through survival analysis, Cox regression, and ROC curve analysis. The PPI network was constructed using STRING. Results: BIRC5 was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues across 33 cancer types, with higher expression levels observed in tumors compared to normal tissues. The protein expression analysis revealed a similar trend. BIRC5 expression was significantly correlated with various molecular and immune subtypes in multiple cancer types. Survival analysis indicated that high BIRC5 expression was associated with poor prognosis across multiple cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). ROC analysis showed that BIRC5 exhibited strong diagnostic potential, with high AUC values (>0.9) in several cancers. The PPI network analysis identified key interacting proteins involved in the cell cycle and tumor progression, further supporting BIRC5's role in cancer biology. Functional experiments in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) revealed that BIRC5 upregulation enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while its knockdown suppresses these activities. Discussion: BIRC5 is a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in multiple cancers. Its association with immune subtypes suggests a potential role in the tumor immune microenvironment. These findings support BIRC5 as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
