1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) play crucial roles in solid tumors such as prostate and breast cancers. But the role of TRPM8 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, the functional roles of TRPM8 in HCC were systematically investigated for the first time. It was found that the expression level of TRPM8 was significantly upregulated in HCC, which was positively correlated with the worse clinicopathological characteristics. Functional studies revealed that pharmacological inhibition or genetic downregulation of TRPM8 ameliorated hepatocarcinogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the oncogenic role of TRPM8 in HCC was at least partially achieved by affecting mitochondrial function. TRPM8 could modulate the expression of nucleolar relative molecule-small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 55 (SNORA55) by inducing transformation of chromatin structure and histone modification type. These data suggest that as a bridge molecule in TRPM8-triggered HCC, SNORA55 can migrate from nucleus to mitochondria and exert oncogenic role by affecting mitochondria function through targeting ATP5A1 and ATP5B. Herein, we uncovered the potent oncogenic role of TRPM8 in HCC by inducing nuclear and mitochondrial dysfunction in a SNORA55 dependent manner, and provided a potential therapeutic target for HCC.
