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 the eighth-leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. To date, the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer remain unclear. To examine these mechanisms, a microRNA (miRNA/miR) microarray with 1,965 genes was hybridized with labeled miRNA probes from invasive PC-1.0 and non-invasive PC-1 cells for molecular profiling analysis. In addition, reverse transcription quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to validate the microarray results. Online miRNA target prediction algorithms online were used to predict the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) term enrichment analysis were performed for the potential targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. The results demonstrated that 54 miRNAs were differentially expressed, of which 33 were upregulated and 21 were downregulated in the PC-1.0 cell line compared with the PC-1 cell line. A total of 6 upregulated miRNAs (miR-31, -34a, -181a, -181b, -193a-3p, and -193b) and 4 downregulated miRNAs (miR-221, -222, -484, and -502-3p) were selected from these 54 miRNAs and validated by RT-qPCR. The differentially expressed miRNAs were further validated by RT-qPCR in the human pancreatic cancer cell lines AsPC-1 (highly invasive) and CAPAN-2 (less invasive). The results revealed that 2 upregulated miRNAs (miR-34a and -193a-3p) and 4 downregulated miRNAs (miR-221, -222, -484, and -502-3p) exhibited a consistent expression pattern between the PC-1.0/PC-1 and AsPC-1/CAPAN-2 pancreatic cancer cells. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the mRNAs potentially targeted by miRNAs were involved in a range of biological functions. These results suggest that different miRNA expression profiles occur between highly and weakly invasive and metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines, and may affect a variety of biological functions in pancreatic cancer.
