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

backgroundPeptidylarginine deiminase 1 (PADI1) has been reported to promote tumorigenesis in breast cancer. However, the functional role of PADI1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PAAD) has remained elusive until now.

methodsThe expression pattern of PADI1 in PAAD tissues and normal tissues was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. A Kaplan-Meier curve analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of PADI1 in PAAD patients. PADI1 was knocked down in CFPAN-1 and HPAC cells, and overexpressed in PANC-1 and Bxpc-3 cells by RNA interference. A wound-healing assay was performed to analyze relative cell migration distance. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by a Transwell assay. Related protein expression levels were measured by western blot and immunofluorescence.

resultsThe bioinformatics analysis showed that PADI1 was overexpressed in PAAD tissues and associated with a poor survival prognosis. The knockdown of PADI1 suppressed cell migration and invasion, and activated the ERK1/2-p38 signaling pathway in CFPAN-1 and HPAC cells. The overexpression of PADI1 produced the opposite results in PANC-1 and Bxpc-3 cells. Additionally, treatment with an MEK1/2 inhibitor significantly attenuated the effects of PADI1 knockdown on cell migration, invasion, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, and p-ERK1/2 and p38 expression in CFPAN-1 and HPAC cells.

conclusionsOur data suggested that PADI1 may function as an oncogene in regulating metastasis
