TMEM147: A Promising Cancer Biomarker Associated with Immune Cell Infiltration and Prognosis in LIHC-Insights from a Comprehensive Pan-Cancer Genomic Analysis.
Article in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Previous studies have demonstrated the regulatory roles of Transmembrane protein 147 (TMEM147) in various diseases, including cancer. However, systematic pan-cancer analyses investigating the role of TMEM147 in diagnosis, prognosis, and immunological prediction are lacking. An analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed differential TMEM147 expression across various types of cancer as well as within immune and molecular cancer subtypes. Moreover, high TMEM147 expression was associated with poor disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), and progression-free interval (PFI) across cancers, suggesting its potential as a prognostic biomarker. Our study further revealed a significant correlation between TMEM147 expression and T helper cell and Tcm cell infiltration in most cancer types. In the case of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), the effect of TMEM147 on prognosis varied among different clinical subtypes. Additionally, functional enrichment analysis revealed an association between TMEM147 and metabolic pathways. Finally, experiments on the MIHA cell line and four LIHC cell lines confirmed the role of TMEM147 in promoting liver cancer cell proliferation, further confirming the clinical value of TMEM147 in liver cancer diagnosis. Our findings suggest that TMEM147 may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker across cancers while also playing a significant role in LIHC.
