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 (PC) is a fatal disease with high malignancy and difficult for early diagnosis. PC causes more than 400,000 patient deaths world widely and becomes the severe health problems. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is comprised of acellular stroma, pancreatic stellate cells, immune cells, and soluble factors. TME is maintained by continuous cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. TME induced by the interaction among pancreatic cancer cells, epithelial cells and stromal cells is essential for the progression of PC and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. Components in the microenvironment can also promote the formation of connective tissue in the primary or metastatic site, or promote the metastatic ability of PC by enhancing angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, and lymph angiogenesis. In addition, the TME also leaves pancreatic cancer unsusceptible to different immunotherapeutic strategies. In this review, we summarized the current knowledge about TME in PC. And the focus was placed on the role of TME in chemotherapeutic resistance and metastasis in the field of PC. And we also paid attention to the immunological therapy targeting the TME, aiming to provide the novel therapy for pancreatic cancer.
