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

The role of autophagy in cancer is context-dependent. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the regulator and underlying mechanism of autophagy. We found that a sirtuin (SIRT) family member, SIRT4, was significantly associated autophagy pathway in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Specifically, in vitro cell culture experiments and in vivo transgenic and xenografted animal models revealed that SIRT4 could inhibit tumor growth and promote autophagy in PDAC. In terms of the mechanism, we demonstrated that SIRT4 activated the phosphorylation of p53 protein by suppressing glutamine metabolism, which was crucial in SIRT4-induced autophagy. AMPKα was implicated in the regulation of autophagy and phosphorylation of p53 mediated by SIRT4, contributing to the suppression of pancreatic tumorigenesis. Notably, the clinical significance of the SIRT4/AMPKα/p53/autophagy axis was demonstrated in human PDAC specimens. Collectively, these findings suggested that SIRT4-induced autophagy further inhibited tumorigenesis and progression of PDAC, highlighting the potential of SIRT4 as a therapeutic target for cancer.
