TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists.
Article in Molecular oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Targeted therapies have pervasively enhanced clinical protocols and significantly improved survival and quality of life of cancer patients. Mostly grounded on small molecules and antibodies targeting deregulated mechanisms in cancer cells, precision oncology approaches are limited to a few tumor types because of the paucity of clinically actionable targets. Here, we report a comparative analysis of the cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8; also known as transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8) in lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers. Our findings reveal high levels of channel expression in cores of all four carcinomas, irrespective of reduced expression of its RNA. Importantly, cancer cell lines that represent the various tumor types consistently show that sub-lethal chemotherapy dosages combined with the TRPM8 agonist D-3263 have a synergistic lethal effect. In addition, administration of D-3263 increases the cytotoxicity of 5-FU/Oxaliplatin in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids, depending on the levels of TRPM8. Overall, our study strengthens the candidacy of TRPM8 as a molecular target for precision oncology approaches and paves the way for the design of basket trials for its clinical testing in TRPM8-high tumors.
