Targeting Tumor-Stromal IL6/STAT3 Signaling through IL1 Receptor Inhibition in Pancreatic Cancer.
Article in Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
A hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the presence of a dense, desmoplastic stroma and the consequent altered interactions between cancer cells and their surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME) that promote disease progression, metastasis, and chemoresistance. We have previously shown that IL6 secreted from pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) stimulates the activation of STAT3 signaling in tumor cells, an established mechanism of therapeutic resistance in PDAC. We have now identified the tumor cell-derived cytokine IL1α as an upstream mediator of IL6 release from PSCs that is involved in STAT3 activation within the TME. Herein, we show that IL1α is overexpressed in both murine and human PDAC tumors and engages with its cognate receptor IL1R1, which is strongly expressed on stromal cells. Further, we show that IL1R1 inhibition using anakinra (recombinant IL1 receptor antagonist) significantly reduces stromal-derived IL6, thereby suppressing IL6-dependent STAT3 activation in human PDAC cell lines. Anakinra treatment results in significant reduction in IL6 and activated STAT3 levels in pancreatic tumors from
