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

BACKGROUND/

aimGemcitabine, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, is the gold standard chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in cancers, including PDAC. However, less is known about the effect of gemcitabine on PDAC cells and miRNA expression in PDAC. We evaluated the effect of gemcitabine on the cell cycle of PDAC cells in vitro and in vivo and on the miRNA expression profile. MATERIALS AND

methodsEffects of gemcitabine on PK-1 and PK-9 cell growth were evaluated using a cell counting kit-8 assay. Xenografted mouse models were used to assess gemcitabine effects in vivo.

resultsGemcitabine inhibited the proliferation and tumour growth of PK-1 cells, and induced S phase cell cycle arrest. Numerous miRNAs were altered upon gemcitabine treatment of PK-1 cells and xenograft models.

conclusionAltered miRNAs may serve as potential therapeutic targets for improving the efficacy of gemcitabine in PDAC.
