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

One of the features for pancreatic cancer is that it is often resistant to chemotherapy treatment, which is one of the major hindrances in the treatment of this malignancy. Previous studies indicated that the microRNAs (miRNAs) could mediate resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy drug in the cancer progression. In the present study, we are aimed to examine whether microRNA-429 was involved in mediating the chemo-resistance of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. Firstly, a gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line (SW1990/GZ) derived from cell line (SW1990) was constructed and found to possess a decreased expression of miR-429 when it is compared to the original cell line. Ectopic expression of miR-429 in SW1990/GZ increased the cellular sensibility to the treatment of gemcitabine, which is coincided with increased expression of PDCD4. As a tumor suppressor, we found that PDCD4 knockdown in SW1990/GZ cells increased its own chemo-resistance to GZ, which indicates PDCD4 also play a regulative role on the GZ-resistance in the pancreatic cancer. To further confirm the function of miR-429 and PDCD4 in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer, a xenograft nude mouse model was utilized to examine whether miR-429 can restore treatment response of gemcitabine in gemcitabine-resistant xenografts, while protein levels of PDCD4 were up-regulated. Together with those results, these findings collectively provided that miR-429 could enhancer GZ sensitivity via regulation of PDCD4 expression in pancreatic cancer cells, which may offer a novel therapeutic target for the chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.
