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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumour associated with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Recently, TRPM8 was reported to play an important role in tumour progression. However, the precise role of TRPM8 in HCC remains unclear. In this study, we explored the expression levels, molecular functions and underlying mechanisms of TRPM8 in HCC.
methodsTissue samples were used to analyse the expression of TRPM8 to assess its diagnostic value for prognosis. Cell Counting Kit-8, EdU and colony formation assays were performed to evaluate the effects of TRPM8 on cell proliferation, whereas the Transwell assay was used to assess cell migration and invasion. The role of TRPM8 in vivo was evaluated using a mouse subcutaneous xenograft tumour model. We performed PPI network analyses to understand the possible mechanisms of TRPM8 action.
resultsTRPM8 expression was decreased in HCC tissues and was correlated with histological grade and poor patient prognosis. Functionally, TRPM8 repressed the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo by modulating the RTP3/STAT3 signalling pathway.
conclusionOur findings underscore the critical role of the TRPM8-RTP3-STAT3 axis in maintaining the malignant progression of HCC. Moreover, our study demonstrates that AD80 is involved in anti-tumour processes by upregulating the expression of TRPM8.
