In the Abstract,


“Interestingly, high PFKFB4 expression was associated with both improved overall survival (OS) and worse progression-free survival (PPS) in COAD patients.”


now reads:


“Interestingly, high PFKFB4 expression was associated with both improved overall survival (OS) and post-progression survival (PPS) in COAD patients.”


In addition, Figure 4 depicted the correlation of PFKFB4 expression with patient outcomes in different stages (Stage II, III, and IV based on TNM staging), instead of the associations between PFKFB4 expression levels and various survival outcomes (Relapse-Free Survival [RFS], Overall Survival [OS], and Post-Progression Survival [PPS]) in patients with Colon Adenocarcinoma (COAD).


The original Figure 4 and accompanying legend appear below.

Relationship between high expression of PFKFB4 and RFS, OS, and PPS in COAD patients. This figure illustrates the association between high expression of PFKFB4 and three clinical outcomes in COAD patients: Relapse-Free Survival (RFS), Overall Survival (OS), and Post-Progression Survival (PPS). The analysis utilized Kaplan–Meier survival analysis on data obtained from the Kaplan–Meier plotter database. A subsequent log-rank test was performed to assess the statistical significance of the results.
