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

Thyroid hormones (THs) dysfunctions have been demonstrated to be associated with the risk of developing different types of cancers. The role of THs in regulating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression is still controversial. We demonstrated that T3 can inhibit HCC progression by enhancing the expression of THRSP. Mechanistically, T3 can activate tumor suppressor LKB1/AMPK/Raptor signaling as well as oncogenic PI3K/Akt signaling in HCC. Interestingly, T3-induced THRSP can augment the activation of LKB1/AMPK/Raptor signaling, yet inhibit T3-induced PI3K/Akt signaling activation, thereby preventing mTOR-induced nuclear translocation of HIF-1α, and ultimately suppressing ENO2-induced glycolysis and HCC progression. More importantly, the exogenous T3 enhances the antitumor effect of multikinase inhibitor lenvatinib in vitro and in vivo by regulating glycolysis. Our findings reveal the role and mechanism of THs in HCC progression and glucose metabolism and provide new potential therapeutic strategies for HCC treatment and drug resistance reversal.
