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

objectivesGemcitabine (Gem) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Acquired drug resistance against Gem presents a major clinical challenge in the chemotherapy of PDAC. It has been shown that miRNA-3662 is lowly expressed and implicated with quantities of biological processes in cancer. However, whether miRNA-3662 regulates chemoresistance in PDAC remains largely unknown. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe level of miRNA-3662 in PDAC tissues was determined by real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR). Functional experiments were used to investigate the biological role of miRNA-3662 on Gem resistance of PDAC in vitro and in vivo. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RT-qPCR, western blotting, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay were employed to determine the precise regulation mechanisms.

resultsIn this study, it was investigated that miRNA-3662 was down-regulated in PDAC clinical samples as well as cell lines. Functional assays revealed that miRNA-3662 was sufficient to inhibit Gem resistance in PDAC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, hypoxia-inducible factor 1ɑ (HIF-1ɑ) was one of the transcriptional target of miRNA-3662 and was up-regulated in PDAC samples. Importantly, genetic promoting of HIF-1ɑ largely compromised miR-3662-mediated chemosensitive effects. In addition, miR-3662 could impair the aerobic glycolysis in PDAC cells.

conclusionsThis study sheds light on miRNA-3662 inhibits PDAC cell chemoresistance and aerobic glycolysis through a negative feedback loop with HIF-1ɑ. Therefore, the co-delivery of miR-3662 and Gem could be served as a promising therapeutic regimen for PDAC patients.
