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

backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the worst prognostic cancers. Here, we probed the anti-cancer activity of wogonoside (Wog), a flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, on PC, as well as potential molecular mechanism.

methodsFollowing Wog stimulation, the viability, proliferation, apoptosis, stem cell-like transition, and mesenchymal transition were detected in PC cells. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify possible signaling pathways involved in the anti-PC activity of Wog. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) was overexpressed and TRAF6 activator IL-1β was used in PC cells to confirm whether Wog exerted anti-PC activity via modulating TRAF6.

resultsWog inhibited PC cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, limited PC cell stem cell-like transition and mesenchymal transition. TNF signaling pathway was activated in PC. Besides, Wog inactivated TRAF6/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/p65 pathway in PC cells. TRAF6, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1), CD44, and matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) expressions were upregulated in PC tissues and negatively correlated with PC survival and prognosis. Finally, Wog suppressed TRAF6 overexpression-induced PC cell stem cell-like transition and mesenchymal transition

conclusionsWog exerted anti-cancer activity on PC and suppressed the TRAF6 mediated-tumor microenvironment of PC, thereby regulating PC's prognosis.
