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

PFTK1 was identified as a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family and it is frequently upregulated in many types of tumors. However, its expression and role in pancreatic cancer has not been yet reported. In this study, we aimed to explore the expression and function in pancreatic cancer. The present study verified that PFTK1 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cell lines. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of PFTK1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells as well as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progress. Finally, knockdown of PFTK1 inhibited the expression of p-PI3K and p-Akt in pancreatic cancer cells. In summary, the present study has provided further evidence that knockdown of PFTK1 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells as well as the EMT progress by suppressing the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, these findings reveal that PFTK1 might potentially become a novel strategy for targeting pancreatic cancer.
