Extracellular Vesicles Inhibit the Response of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cells to Gemcitabine and TRAIL Treatment.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 ductal adenocarcinoma remains an aggressive cancer with a low 5-year survival rate. Although gemcitabine has been a standard treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer, patients often develop resistance to this therapeutic. We have previously shown that treating pancreatic cancer cells in vitro with a combination of gemcitabine and the cytokine TRAIL significantly reduced both cell viability and survival. The data presented here demonstrate that this response to treatment is inhibited when cells are incubated with a conditioned medium derived from untreated cells. We show that this inhibition is specifically mediated by extracellular vesicles present in the conditioned medium, as seen by a significant decrease in apoptosis. Additionally, we further demonstrate that this effect can be reversed in the presence of GW4869, an inhibitor of exosome biogenesis and release. These results show that pancreatic cancer cell-derived extracellular vesicles can confer resistance to treatment with gemcitabine and TRAIL. The implications of these findings suggest that removal of EVs during treatment can improve the response of cells to gemcitabine and TRAIL treatment in vitro.
