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

Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease with a high metastatic potential. In our previous study, we identified a specific subgroup of patients with pancreatic cancer with a serum signature of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)+/cancer antigen (CA)125+/CA19-9 ≥1,000 U/ml. In this study, by using high-throughput screening analysis, we found that receptor-interacting protein kinases 4 (RIPK4) may be a key molecule involved in the high metastatic potential of this subgroup of patients with pancreatic cancer. A high RIPK4 expression predicted a poor prognosis and promoted pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion via the RAF1/MEK/ERK pathway. Moreover, RIPK4 activated the RAF1/MEK/ERK pathway by regulating proteasome-mediated phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (PEBP1) degradation. The suppression of PEBP1 degradation eliminated the RIPK4-induced activation of RAF1/MEK/ERK signaling and pancreatic cancer cell migration or invasion. Thus, on the whole, the findings of this study indicated that RIPK4 was upregulated in the subgroup of pancreatic cancer with a high metastatic potential. RIPK4 overexpression promoted pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion via the PEBP1 degradation-induced activation of the RAF1/MEK/ERK pathway.
