Integrated single-cell RNA-seq analysis reveals that EZH2 regulates the MIF-CD74 axis to modulate T cell activation and exhaustion in hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly lethal malignancy characterized by a complex pathological mechanism involving multiple genes and progressive stages. The efficacy of targeted and immunotherapy remains limited, highlighting the urgent need for a reliable model to predict prognosis and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
methodsWe developed an integrated model based on genes related to autophagy, senescence, dormancy, mitochondrial function, and tumor stemness. The predictive capability of this model for HCC prognosis and ICI response was evaluated. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis and immunocompetent mouse models were further utilized to elucidate the role of model-associated genes in regulating the tumor immune microenvironment.
resultsA 16-gene integrated model was constructed using genes associated with mitochondrial function, autophagy, dormancy, stemness, and senescence. This model demonstrated robust predictive power for HCC prognosis and ICI responsiveness. Single-cell trajectory analysis revealed that EZH2 plays a crucial role in immune cell infiltration, activation, and HCC progression. Additionally, in vivo mouse models further indicated that EZH2 may regulate CD8
conclusionThe integrated model holds potential as a prognostic and predictive tool for HCC immunotherapy. EZH2 may influence CD8
