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

Prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor, thus the development of novel therapeutic drugs is necessary. During preclinical studies, appropriate models are essential for evaluating drug efficacy. The present study sought to determine the ideal pancreatic cancer mouse model for reliable preclinical testing. Such a model could accurately reflect human pancreatic cancer phenotypes and predict future clinical trial results. Systemic pathology analysis was performed in an orthotopic transplantation model to prepare model mice for use in preclinical studies, mimicking the progress of human pancreatic cancer. The location and the timing of inoculated cancer cell metastases, pathogenesis and cause of fatality were analyzed. Furthermore, the efficacy of gemcitabine, a key pancreatic cancer drug, was evaluated in this model where liver metastasis and peritoneal dissemination occur. Results indicated that the SUIT-2 orthotopic pancreatic cancer model was similar to the phenotypic sequential progression of human pancreatic cancer, with extra-pancreatic invasion, intra-peritoneal dissemination and other hematogenous organ metastases. Notably, survival was prolonged by administering gemcitabine to mice with metastasized pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, the detailed effects of gemcitabine on the primary tumor and metastatic tumor lesions were pathologically evaluated in mice. The present study indicated the model accurately depicted pancreatic cancer development and metastasis. Furthermore, the detailed effects of pancreatic cancer drugs on the primary tumor and on metastatic tumor lesions. We present this model as a potential new standard for new drug development in pancreatic cancer.
