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

Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis, and current therapeutic strategies are ineffective in advanced diseases. We and others have shown the aberrant expression of CXCR2 and its ligands in PC development and progression. Our objective for this study was to evaluate the therapeutic utility of CXCR2/1 targeting using an small molecule antagonist, SCH-479833, in different PC preclinical murine models (syngeneic or xenogeneic). Our results demonstrate that CXCR2/1 antagonist had both antitumor and anti-metastatic effects in PC. CXCR2/1 antagonist treatment inhibited tumor cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and recruitment of neutrophils, while it increased apoptosis. Treatment with the antagonist enhanced fibrosis, tumor necrosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. Together, these findings suggest that selectively targeting CXCR2/1 with small molecule inhibitors is a promising therapeutic approach for inhibiting PC growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis.
