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

Increasing evidence shows that eukaryotic initiation factor subunit (EIF3C) plays a crucial role in development of tumors. However, the underlying roles of EIF3Cin the development of pancreatic cancer (PC) remain unknown. In this study, we examined the expression of EIF3C in PC tissues, their adjacent normal tissues and 3 cell lines (SW1990, PANC-1 and AsPC-1). Moreover, the EIF3C-shRNA lentivirus was constructed to suppress EIF3C expression. Following this, the cell colony formation assay was employed to evaluate proliferation ability of PC cells. Meanwhile, the cell cycle and apoptotic assays were also performed by flow cytometry. We found that level of EIF3C in PC tissues was significantly increased compared with that in adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, the knockdown of EIF3C can significantly reduce cell proliferation, block cell cycle in G2/M and induce apoptosis in both SW1990 and PANC-1 cells. Our findings suggest that EIF3C plays a crucial role in the progression of PC and may be a potential target in the treatment of PC.
