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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer type characterized by rapid metastasis and resistance to chemotherapy, properties that are shared by cancer stem cells (CSCs). In pancreatic cancer, tumor cells which possess the properties of CSCs also phenotypically resemble cells that have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT. Disabled-2 (Dab2) is a multifunctional scaffold protein frequently downregulated in cancer that has been linked to the process of EMT. However, the role of Dab2 in pancreatic cancer development and progression remains unclear. Downregulation of Dab2 expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines was found to trigger induction of genes characteristic of EMT and the CSC phenotype, while overexpression of Dab2 in the Panc1 cell line blocked the process of TGFβ-stimulated EMT. In addition, selective inhibition of the TGFβRI/RII receptors was found to reverse genes altered by Dab2 downregulation. Dab2 mRNA expression was found to be decreased in PDAC tumor samples, as compared to levels observed in normal pancreatic tissue. Methylation of the Dab2 gene promoter was demonstrated in Stage I PDAC tumors and in the MiaPaCa2 cell line, suggesting that promoter methylation may silence Dab2 expression early in pancreatic cancer progression. These results suggest that Dab2 may function as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer by modulation of the TGFβ-stimulated EMT and CSC phenotype.
