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

backgroundAlternative splicing (AS) of genes has been found to affect gene stability, and its abnormal regulation can lead to tumorigenesis. CELF2 is a vital splicing factor to participate in mRNA alternative splicing. Its downregulation has been confirmed to promote the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the regulatory role and mechanisms in PC has not been elucidated.

resultsCELF2 was downregulated in PC tissues, which affected tumor TNM stage and tumor size, and low expression of CELF2 indicated a poor prognosis of PC. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that abnormal expression of CELF2 affected the stemness, apoptosis, and proliferation of PC cells. Furthmore, we also found that CELF2 was targeted by ALKBH5 for m6A modification, leading to CELF2 degradation by YTHDF2. Bioinformatic analysis of AS model based on the TCGA database indicated that CELF2 could target CD44 to form different spliceosomes, thereby affecting the biological behavior of PC cells. The conversion of CD44s to CD44V is the key to tumorigenesis. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted to reveal the mechanism of CELF2-mediated CD44 AS in PC. We found that CELF2-mediated splicing of CD44 led to changes in the level of endoplasmic reticulum stress, further regulating the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) signaling pathway, thereby affecting apoptosis and cell stemness. In addition, ERAD signaling pathway inhibitor, EerI, could effectively reverse the effect of CD44 on tumors.

conclusionsThis study indicates that N6-methyladenosine-mediated CELF2 promotes AS of CD44, affecting the ERAD pathway and regulating the biological behavior of PC cells. CELF2 is expected to be a new target for targeted-drug development.
