HLTF promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by enhancing SRSF1 stability and activating ERK/MAPK pathway.
Article in Oncogenesis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Helicase-like transcription factor (HLTF) has been found to be involved in the progression of several tumors, but the role of HLTF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression has not been studied. Here, our study explored the underlying mechanism of HLTF in HCC progression for the first time. Database analysis and clinical sample examination indicated that HLTF was upregulated in HCC tissues and was related to poor clinicopathological features in patients. Upregulation of HLTF accelerated the growth and metastasis of HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis and subsequent experiments revealed that ERK/MAPK signaling pathway activation was vital to HLTF-mediated proliferation and metastasis in HCC cells. Moreover, HLTF was demonstrated to interact with SRSF1 and contribute to its protein stability to activate the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway and enhance HCC growth and metastasis. In addition, miR-511-5p was expressed at a low level in HCC tissues, was negatively correlated HLTF, and regulated HLTF expression. Our study shows that HLTF plays an oncogenic role in HCC progression and provides a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
