Pan-cancer analysis identifies DBF4B as an immunologic and prognostic biomarker.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 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
DBF4 zinc finger B (DBF4B) is a regulator of cellular CDC7 proteins, and the complex it forms with CDC7 proteins plays a key role in coordinating the initiation of DNA replication. Compared with previous DBF4B studies, this study is the first to use a publicly available database to explore DBF4B differential expression and prognosis in different cancers, as well as its association with gene mutations, molecular and immune subtypes, immune infiltration, methylation, and drug sensitivity. Our results showed that DBF4B was significantly differentially expressed in most cancer types as well as in cancers with different molecular and immune subtypes, and DBF4B was also significantly correlated with the prognosis of a subset of cancers. Furthermore, our analysis showed that DBF4B expression in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) was associated with a variety of factors, including age, gender, race, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), presence of residual tumor, and tumor status. Elevated DBF4B expression was correlated with poorer overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI). especially in different clinical subtypes. In conclusion, DBF4B may be a key molecular biomarker for pan-cancer immunology and prognosis and an independent prognostic risk factor for LIHC.
