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

Gemcitabine (GEM) is the gold-standard therapeutic regimen for patients with pancreatic cancer (PC); however, patients may receive limited benefits due to the drug resistance of GEM. LncRNA SNHG6 is reported to play key roles in drug resistance, but its role and molecular mechanism in PC remain incompletely understood. We found that LncRNA SNHG6 is drastically downregulated in GEM-resistant PC and is positively correlated with the survival of PC patients. With the help of bioinformatic analysis and molecular approaches, we show that LncRNA SNHG6 can sponge miR-944, therefore causing the upregulation of the target gene KPNA5. In vitro experiments showed that LncRNA SNHG6 and KPNA5 suppress PC cell proliferation and colony formation. The Upregulation of LncRNA SNHG6 and KPNA5 increases the response of GEM-resistant PANC-1 cells to GEM. We also show that the expression of KPNA5 is higher in patients without GEM resistance than in those who developed GEM resistance. In summary, our findings indicate that the LncRNA SNHG6/miR944/KPNA5 axis plays a pivotal role in overcoming GEM resistance, and targeting this axis may contribute to an increasing of the benefits of PC patients from GEM treatment.
