The Kaplan–Meier analysis illustrated that high NFIA expression correlated with short OS (Fig. 3A; P < 0.001) or DFS (Fig. 3B; P < 0.001) time in patients with ESCC, but NFIB did not correlate with OS or DFS time (Fig. 3C and D). The gene discussed is NFIA; the disease is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
