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

backgroundPancreatic cancer is a devastating invasive disease. Understanding the molecular mechanism of metastasis of this cancer is basis for its treatment and prevention.

methodsPancreatic cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues were collected from patients tour hospital. Western blotting and a sphere growth and invasion assay were performed to conduct analysis. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell Line PANC-1 were cultured. To test the level of Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP), immunofluorescence analyses were performed.

resultsIn this study, we showed that expression of RKIP was downregulated in pancreatic cancer. RKIP can inhibit epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PANC-1 cells. MicroRNA-181a (miR-181a) has a high expression in pancreatic cancer and can induce EMT phenotype by directly degrading RKIP in pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells.

conclusionsWe concluded that miR-181a induces EMT phenotype through its regulation of RKIP in pancreatic cancer. MicroRNA-18a may be a novel target in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in future.
