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

Chemoresistance is a major cause of treatment failure in pancreatic cancer (PC). It has been demonstrated that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is closely related to drug resistance in PC; however, the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Recently found evidence has suggested that nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) is involved in the development of chemoresistance. However, the role and mechanism of NEAT1 in PC gemcitabine resistance remain unknown. In the present study, we first established two independent gemcitabine-resistant (GR) PC cell lines, PANC-1/GR and SW1990/GR. We found that GR cells displayed markedly enhanced migration and invasion abilities, decreased expression of E-cadherin, and upregulation of N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, ZEB1, and ZEB2. Our findings suggested that downregulation of NEAT1 enhanced the sensitivity of GR cells to gemcitabine by reversing the EMT process. Mechanistically, NEAT1 mediates ZEB2 mRNA expression through sponging miR-506-3p. Downregulation of NEAT1 can reverse the EMT process of GR PC cells by reducing the expression of ZEB2, thus enhancing the sensitivity of GR PC cells to gemcitabine. These findings were further confirmed in a nude mouse xenograft model. Taken together, downregulation of NEAT1 sensitized the GR PC cells to gemcitabine through modulation of the miR-506-3p/ZEB2/EMT axis. These results provide the novel evidence for understanding the function and molecular mechanism of NEAT1, and a new direction for improving the chemotherapeutic effects in PC.
