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

Pancreatic cancer is highly invasive and is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) is a G protein-coupled receptor for CXC chemokine ligand 12/stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), a member of a large family of small, structurally related, heparin-binding chemokine proteins. SDF-1α/CXCR4 plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. SDF-1α and CXCR4 are upregulated in many tumors, including pancreatic cancer tissues, and preliminary data indicate that the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays an important role in tumor invasion. However, their precise role and the mechanism through which they function remain largely unknown. In this study, analysis of SDF-1α, CXCR4 and MMP-2 expression in pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissue samples from ten patients revealed that all three proteins are overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer. SDF-1α induced MMP-2 and MMP-9 upregulation in PANC-1 and SW-1990 cells, which was associated with increased pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, SDF-1α induced p38 phosphorylation and p38 inhibition reduced both the level of SDF-1α-stimulated MMP-2 expression and PANC-1 cell invasion. Overall, our results demonstrate that SDF-1α/CXCR4 upregulates MMP-2 expression and induces pancreatic cancer cell invasion in PANC-1 and SW-1990 cell lines by activating p38 MAPK.
