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

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), has been recently been suspected to have a role in tumorigenesis. We investigated the expression of SIRT1 in pancreatic cancer and the effect of SIRT1-targeted RNA interference (RNAi) on cell proliferation and tumor formation in a pancreatic cancer cell line, PANC1. The expression of SIRT1 was investigated in 49 specimens of pancreatic cancer and adjacent normal pancreatic tissues. SIRT1 was overexpressed in pancreatic cancer tissues at both the mRNA and protein levels, with increased SIRT1 positivity associated with tumors from patients over 60 years old, tumors larger than 4 cm, higher TNM (extent of tumor (T), the extent of spread to lymph nodes (N), and presence of distant metastasis (M)) stage or the presence of lymph node or hepatic metastases. The PANC-1 was stably transfected with a SIRT1 small hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression plasmid and compared with untransfected and PANC-1-negative RNAi cells. Proliferation of PANC-1-SIRT1-RNAi cells was significantly reduced, accompanied by increased rates of apoptosis, G1 arrest and senescence. Furthermore, FOXO3a expression was markedly upregulated in PANC-1-SIRT1-RNAi cells, but no significant difference in p53 expression was observed. The invasive ability of PANC-1-SIRT1-RNAi cells was markedly reduced in vitro, which was linked to increased E-cadherin and reduced-MMP expression. Additionally, PANC-1-SIRT1-RNAi cells had a significantly reduced capacity to form tumors in vivo compared with untransfected and PANC-1-negative RNAi cells. These results suggest that SIRT1 may promote cell proliferation and tumor formation in pancreatic cancer, and downregulation of SIRT1 using shRNA could provide a novel therapeutic treatment.
