PANC-1 cancer stem-like cell death with silybin encapsulated in polymersomes and deregulation of stemness-related miRNAs and their potential targets.
Article in Iranian journal of basic medical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
objectivesCancer stem cells (CSCs) have powerful self-renewal ability and tumor recurrence. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a malignancy with high mortality rate and ˃5% survival. Silybin has anticancer and hepatoprotective properties. We loaded silybin in PEG400-OA (SPNs) and evaluated its cytotoxic effects on PANC-1 cells and PANC-1 CSCs. MATERIALS AND
methodsSpheroids from PANC-1 cells were obtained by the hanging drop method. Anti-proliferative and apoptotic functions of SPNs were evaluated in spheroids and non-spheroids with MTT, DNA fragmentation, PI and PI/AnnexinV assays. The expression of CD markers was assessed with flow cytometry. QRT-PCR was used to evaluate the expression of some miRNAs and targets.
resultsIC
conclusionWe suggest that silybin encapsulated in polymersomes (SPNs) may be useful as a complementary agent for destroying both pancreatic cancer cells and pancreatic CSCs along with chemotherapeutic agents.
