Targeting the Endothelin-1 pathway to reduce invasion and chemoresistance in gallbladder cancer cells.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundGallbladder cancer (GBC) is a prevalent and deadly biliary tract carcinoma, often diagnosed at advanced stages with limited treatment options. The 5-year survival rate varies widely from 4 to 60%, mainly due to differences in disease stage detection. With only a small fraction of patients having resectable tumors and a high incidence of metastasis, advanced GBC stages are characterized by significant chemoresistance. Identification of new therapeutic targets is crucial, and recent studies have shown that the Endothelin-1 (ET-1) signaling pathway, involving ET
resultsIn this study, we investigated the expression of ET-1 pathway proteins in three GBC cell lines and a primary GBC culture. Our findings demonstrated that both ET
conclusionFor the first time, we reveal the role of the ET-1 pathway in GBC cells, providing insight into the potential therapeutic targeting of its receptors to mitigate invasion and chemoresistance in this cancer with limited treatment options. These findings pave the way for further exploration of Macitentan or other ETR antagonists as potential therapeutic strategies for GBC management. In summary, our study represents a groundbreaking contribution to the field by providing the first evidence of the ET 1 pathway's pivotal role in modulating the behavior and aggressiveness of GBC cells, shedding new light on potential therapeutic targets.
