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

aimTo evaluate the anti-tumor effect of clobenpropit, which is a specific H3 antagonist and H4 agonist, in combination with gemcitabine in a pancreatic cancer cell line.

methodsThree kinds of human pancreatic cancer cell lines (Panc-1, MiaPaCa-2, and AsPC-1) were used in this study. Expression of H3 and H4 receptors in pancreatic cancer cells was identified with Western blotting. Effects of clobenpropit on cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were evaluated. Alteration of epithelial and mesenchymal markers after administration of clobenpropit was analyzed. An in vivo study with a Panc-1 xenograft mouse model was also performed.

resultsH4 receptors were present as 2 subunits in human pancreatic cancer cells, while there was no expression of H3 receptor. Clobenpropit inhibited cell migration and increased apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells in combination with gemcitabine. Clobenpropit up-regulated E-cadherin, but down-regulated vimentin and matrix metalloproteinase 9 in real-time polymerase chain reaction. Also, clobenpropit inhibited tumor growth (gemcitabine 294 ± 46 mg vs combination 154 ± 54 mg, P = 0.02) and enhanced apoptosis in combination with gemcitabine (control 2.5%, gemcitabine 25.8%, clobenpropit 9.7% and combination 40.9%, P = 0.001) by up-regulation of E-cadherin and down-regulation of Zeb1 in Panc-1 xenograft mouse.

conclusionClobenpropit enhanced the anti-tumor effect of gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer cells through inhibition of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process.
