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

The targeting protein of serine/threonine protein phosphatase 5 (PPP5C) has been reported to be present in various malignancies. However, its functional role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains unknown. In the present study, the function of PPP5C in PC cells treated with the first-line drug gemcitabine (GEM) was investigated. Short hairpin (sh)RNA targeting PPP5C was constructed to knockdown PPP5C in PANC-1 cells. Cell cycle and apoptosis analyses were performed in order to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects induced by PPP5C silencing combined with GEM treatment. Western blot analysis was applied to detect the expression of certain key regulators of cell apoptosis in PANC-1 cells treated with GEM. shRNA against PPP5C effectively suppressed the proliferation of PANC-1 cells treated with GEM. Additionally, cell cycle analysis indicated that PPP5C knockdown resulted in a higher number of PANC-1 cells treated with GEM in G
