Abstract
BACKGROUND: The prognostic significance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) expression has been explored in plenty of studies in human cancers. Because of the controversial results, the meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the relevance of IGFBP2 expression with the prognosis in various tumors. METHODS: The data searched from four databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of science) was used to calculate pooled hazard ratios (HRs) in this meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses were stratified by ethnicity, cancer type, publication year, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale score, treatments, and populations. RESULTS: Twenty-one studies containing 5560 patients finally met inclusion criteria. IGFBP2 expression was associated with lower overall survival (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.31-1.88) and progression-free survival (HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.04-1.34) in cancer patients, but not with disease-free survival (HR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.91-2.46) or recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.93-2.40). The subgroup analyses indicated IGFBP2 overexpression was significantly correlated with overall survival in Asian patients (HR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.18-1.72), Caucasian patients (HR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.31-3.70), glioma (HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.03-1.79), and colorectal cancer (HR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.43-4.44) and surgery subgroups (HR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.50-2.58). CONCLUSION: The meta-analysis showed that IGFBP2 expression was associated with worse prognosis in several tumors, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in cancer patients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
