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

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a malignant tumor disease, whose molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Sodium channel epithelial 1α subunit (SCNN1A) serves an important role in tumor progression. The current study explored the role of homeobox D9 (HOXD9) and SCNN1A in the progression of PC. The expression of SCNN1A and HOXD9 in PC samples was predicted on online databases and detected in PC cell lines. The association between SCNN1A expression and PC prognosis was examined by the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, The Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype‑Tissue Expression databases and by a Kaplan‑Meier plotter. Subsequently, the biological effects of SCNN1A on PC cell growth, colony formation, migration and invasion were investigated through RNA interference and cell transfection. Next, the expression of E‑cadherin, N‑cadherin, Vimentin and Snail was detected by western blotting to discover whether HOXD9 dysregulation mediated PC metastasis. Binding sites of HOXD9 and SCNN1A promoters were predicted on JASPAR. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression level of SCNN1A following interference and overexpression of HOXD9. Luciferase assay detected luciferase activity following interference with HOXD9 and the transcriptional activity of SCNN1A following binding site deletion. High expression of SCNN1A and HOXD9 in PC was predicted by online databases, signifying poor prognosis. The present study confirmed the above predictions in PC cell lines. Knockdown of SCNN1A and HOXD9 could effectively inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition of PC cells. Furthermore, HOXD9 activated SCNN1A transcription, forming a feedback regulatory loop. HOXD9 was demonstrated to activate SCNN1A and promote the malignant biological process of PC.
