Focal Adhesion Kinase: A promising therapeutic target in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Article in Clinics and research in hepatology and gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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) remains a deadly cancer, characterized by a uniquely immunosuppressive and fibrotic microenvironment responsible for its high chemoresistance. Jiang et al. identify FAK (focal adhesion kinase) activity as an interesting therapeutic target, the inhibition of which drastically reduces PDAC microenvironment deleterious features. In combination with gemcitabine and immune-checkpoint therapy, FAK inhibitor promotes long-term tumor stasis with extended survival in PDAC mouse models. In conclusion, Jiang et al. provide proof of concept that FAK inhibitors combined with chemotherapy will highly profit PDAC patients.
