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

KRAS mutation is very common in pancreatic cancer. How pancreatic cancer cells overcome oncogene-induced senescence is not fully understood. Our previous studies showed that up-regulation of TFCP2 (transcription factor CP2) in pancreatic cancer promoted the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. However, whether TFCP2 plays an important role in pancreatic cancer cell senescence is not clear. In this study, we found upregulation of TFCP2 expression in pancreatic cancer was associated with KRAS mutation. Overexpression of TFCP2 inhibited cell senescence. Knockdown of TFCP2 promoted cell senescence. Mechanistically, the interaction between TFCP2 and SREBP2 (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2) synergistically activated the expression of HMGCR, a rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, and statins could reverse the inhibitory effect of TFCP2 on senescence. In conclusion, our study reveals a new mechanism underlying the TFCP2 regulation of pancreatic cancer cell senescence, providing a new target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
