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

objectivesZFP91, an E3 ligase, has been reported to possess cancer-promoting functions. This study aimed to elucidate the exact role of ZFP91 in tumour progression of pancreatic cancer and underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analysed the correlation between ZFP91 expression and pancreatic cancer through TCGA and GEO data sets. Growth curve, colony formation, wound healing and transwell invasion assays were conducted to evaluate proliferation, migration and invasion of lentivirus transfected pancreatic cancer cells. GSEA and Western blot analysis were performed to validate the regulatory effect of ZFP91 on β-catenin. Drug response curve and orthotopic implantation model reflected the sensitivity of chemotherapies.

resultsZFP91 overexpression is prevalent in pancreatic cancer and negatively correlated with overall survival. ZFP91 knock-down attenuated proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. β-catenin was a downstream gene of ZFP91, and its agonist could reverse the phenotype. ZFP91 promoted EMT and chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer.

conclusionsWe demonstrated that ZFP91 promoted pancreatic cancer proliferation, migration and invasion through activating β-catenin signalling. EMT and chemoresistance were also regulated by ZFP91. ZFP91 might be a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.
