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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a notoriously therapy-resistant desmoplastic tumour. Antifibrotic therapy is shown to increase drug delivery in the preclinical setting. However, this approach can be a double-edged sword: first, PDAC is not uniform and some types of (dormant) stroma may in fact be protective; second, conventional chemotherapeutics are not powerful enough to eradicate all cancer cells in the tumour, therefore breaking down the stromal wall non-selectively may also lead to the increased dissemination of cancer cells. Recently, Kadaba et al have analysed the impact of the stromal cells in pancreatic, oesophageal and skin cancers, in bio-engineered, physiomimetic organotypic cultures. These authors show that the maximal effect on increasing cancer cell proliferation and invasion, as well as decreasing cancer cell apoptosis, occurs when pancreatic stellate cells constitute the majority of the cellular population in a three-dimensional (3D) model. This work may be instrumental for better understanding the types of stoma in PDAC before eliminating it non-selectively.
