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

In this study, we explored the oncogenic mechanism of cleavage and polyadenylation-specific factor 6 (CPSF6) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CPSF6 was overexpressed in HCC tissues with poor survival rates compared to normal tissues. Hence, CPSF6 depletion suppressed cell viability and colony formation, induced apoptosis via PARP cleavage, and increased the sub-G1 population of Hep3B and Huh7 cells. In addition, CPSF6 enhanced the stability of c-Myc via their binding through nuclear co-localization by binding to c-Myc at the site of 258-360. Furthermore, c-Myc degradation by CPSF6 depletion was disturbed by FBW7 depletion or treatment with the proteasomal inhibitor MG132. Additionally, CPSF6 depletion suppressed the Warburg effect by inhibiting glucose, HK2, PKM2, LDH, and lactate; showed a synergistic effect with Sorafenib in Hep3B cells; and inhibited angiogenesis by tube formation and CAM assays, along with decreased expression and production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Notably, CPSF6 depletion attenuated PD-L1 expression and increased Granzyme B levels, along with an increase in the percentage of CD4/CD8 cells in the splenocytes of BALB/c nude mice bearing Hep3B cells. Consistently, immunohistochemistry showed that CPSF6 depletion reduced the growth of Hep3B cells in BALB/c mice in orthotopic and xenograft tumor models by inhibiting tumor microenvironment-associated proteins. Overall, these findings suggest that CPSF6 enhances the Warburg effect for immune escape and angiogenesis, leading to cancer progression via c-Myc, mediated by the HK, PD-L1, and VEGF networks, with synergistic potential with sorafenib as a molecular target for liver cancer therapy.
