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

backgroundCollagen type XI α1 (COL11A1) is associated with tumorigenesis and development in many human malignancies. Previous reports indicate that COL11A1 may be a significant diagnostic marker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, its biological role in PDAC progression remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the influence of COL11A1 on the invasion and migration abilities of pancreatic cancer cells and explored its potential molecular mechanisms.

methodsCell migration and invasion were assessed using Transwell assays in pancreatic cancer cells transfected with siCOL11A1 and pCNV3-COL11A1 plasmids. The protein and mRNA expression levels of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, cluster of differentiation (CD)-24, CD44, serine-threonine kinase (AKT), glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β, phospho (p)-AKT

resultsThese results demonstrated that COL11A1 significantly promoted the invasion and migration abilities of PDAC cells. Furthermore, COL11A1 facilitated the occurrence of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell stemness by upregulating the expression levels of p-AKT

conclusionsThis study suggests that the activation of the AKT/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway induced by COL11A1 plays a major role in the progression of PDAC. Therefore, COL11A1 could serve as a potential target for PDAC treatment.
