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

purposeTo investigate the effect of combined inhibition of protein kinase B (AKT) and SRC on the growth and metastatic potential of human pancreatic cancer cells. MATERIALS AND

methodsAKT and SRC were inhibited using 10-DEBC and PP2, respectively. The expression of their messenger RNAs were down-regulated by specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). Changes in pancreatic cancer cell growth and metastatic potential were determined using a cell viability assay and a xenotransplant model of pancreatic cancer, as well as cell migration and invasion assays. Signal proteins were analyzed by Western blot.

resultsThe inhibitors 10-DEBC and PP2 suppressed cell proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion in pancreatic cancer cell lines MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1. The simultaneous inhibition of AKT and SRC at low concentrations resulted in a significant suppression of cell proliferation. Knockdown of AKT2 and SRC using siRNAs also significantly decreased cell proliferation. In a pancreatic cancer model, combined treatment with 10-DEBC and PP2 also significantly suppressed the growth of pancreatic cancer. Application of 10-DEBC with PP2 significantly reduced the metastatic potential of pancreatic cancer cells by inhibiting migration and invasion. The combined inhibition suppressed the phosphorylation of mTOR and ERK in pancreatic cancer cells.

conclusionCombined targeting of AKT and SRC resulted in a synergistic efficacy against human pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis.
