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

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that plays a major regulatory role in metabolic function. It is overexpressed in many types of cancer cells, suggesting that regulation of PPARγ may also affect carcinogenesis. Our previous study suggested that PTB-associated splicing factor (PSF) is a PPARγ-interacting protein and growth regulator of colon cancer cells. In addition, PSF has been shown to be involved in several important regulatory steps of cancer cell proliferation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationships between PSF and PPARγ in pancreatic cancer by evaluating the effects of PSF expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines. PSF expression affected the expression of PPARγ, and knockdown of PSF using specific small-interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly suppressed the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. Furthermore, PSF knockdown induced cell growth inhibition and autophagosome formation through inhibition of PPARγ. Interestingly, Panc-1 cells were more susceptible to PSF knockdown-induced autophagy than MIA-PaCa-2 cells. Thus, our data indicated that PSF was an important regulator of autophagy and played critical roles in the survival and growth of pancreatic cancer cells. The PSF-PPARγ axis may play a role in the control of pancreatic cancer pathogenesis. This study is the first to describe the effects of PSF on pancreatic cancer cell growth and autophagy associated with PPARγ.
