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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide and a major public health challenge. Lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in the metabolic reprogramming observed in HCC, although the underlying mechanisms are still being elucidated. Nile red staining and lipid assays showed that LRP11 knockdown significantly reduces lipid accumulation in HCC cells, with a concurrent decrease in key lipid metabolism markers such as FSAN, ACLY and ACSL4, as demonstrated by Western blotting. Mass spectrometry (MS) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) revealed that LRP11 recruits USP5, enhancing USP5-mediated deubiquitination of RACK1. Truncation analysis identified LRP11 residues 309-500 as critical for interaction with the RACK1 residues 91-231. These findings suggest that LRP11 may influence lipid metabolism and progression in HCC through USP5-mediated stabilization of RACK1. Based on these results, LRP11 emerges as a potential target for further exploration in HCC therapy. Targeting LRP11 or disrupting its interactions with USP5 or RACK1 could offer new avenues for treatment, though additional research is required to validate these therapeutic possibilities.
