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

backgroundRadiotherapy is one of the main treatments for pancreatic cancer, but radiation resistance limits its clinical application. As a result, novel therapeutic agents to improve radiosensitivity are urgently needed. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ibr-7 (a derivative of ibrutinib) on the radiosensitivity of human pancreatic cancer cells.

methodsThe effect of Ibr-7 on pancreatic cancer cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assays. Radiosensitivity was assessed by clonogenic formation assays. Cell cycle and cell apoptosis were analysed by flow cytometry. DNA damage was evaluated by immunofluorescence analysis. The expression levels of PARP, Cleaved caspase 3, p-EGFR and EGFR were determined by western blot.

resultsIbr-7 showed an anti-proliferative effect on PANC-1 and Capan2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Ibr-7 (2 μmol/L) enhanced the effect of radiation on PANC-1 and Capan2 cells. Further findings showed that this combination enhanced G2/M phase arrest and increased cell apoptosis. Additional molecular mechanism studies revealed that the expression of p-EGFR was decreased by Ibr-7 alone or in combination with radiation. Overexpression of p-EGFR reversed the cell apoptosis induced by Ibr-7 combined with radiation. Moreover, the expression of γ-H2AX was significantly decreased in the Ibr-7 plus radiation group.

conclusionsOur study indicated the potential application of Ibr-7 as a highly effective radiosensitizer for the treatment of pancreatic cancer cells.
