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

backgroundHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (HNRNPA2B1) is closely related to tumour occurrence and development, oncogene expression, apoptosis inhibition and invasion and metastasis capacities. However, its function in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of pancreatic cancer is not fully understood.

methodsBy comparing various wild-type pancreatic cancer cell lines, we determined which have a higher expression level of HNRNPA2B1 accompanied by the higher expression of N-cadherin and vimentin and lower expression of E-cadherin. Therefore, to elucidate the role of HNRNPA2B1 in EMT, we generated models of HNRNPA2B1 knockdown and overexpression in different types of pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIA Paca-2, PANC-1 and Patu-8988) and examined changes in expression of EMT-related factors, including CDH1, CDH2, vimentin and snail.

resultsThe results show that HNRNPA2B1 promotes EMT development by down-regulating E-cadherin and up-regulating N-cadherin and vimentin, and also stimulates the invasion capacity and inhibits viability in human pancreatic cancer cell lines, the similar results in vivo experiments. Moreover, we found that HNRNPA2B1 likely regulates EMT progression in pancreatic carcinoma via the ERK/snail signalling pathway.

conclusionsThe results of this work suggest that HNRNPA2B1 inhibition has potential antitumour effects, which warrants in-depth investigation.
