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

Background: Limited by difficulties in early detection and availabilities of effective treatments, pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant disease with poor prognosis. Nuclear receptors are a family of ligand-dependent transcription factors that are highly druggable therapeutic targets playing critical roles in human physiological and pathological development, including cancer. In this study, we explored the therapeutic potential as well as the molecular mechanisms of liver X receptor (LXR) agonist GW3965 in pancreatic cancer. Methods: Soft-agar colony formation assay, xenograft tumors, Oligonucleotide microarray, Reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western immunoblotting and Immunohistochemistry were used in this study. Results: We demonstrated pleotropic in vitro activities of GW3965 in pancreatic cell lines MIA PaCa-2 and BXPC3 including reduction of cell viability, inhibition of cell proliferation, stimulation of cell death, and suppression of colony formation, which translated to significant inhibition of xenograft tumor growth Conclusions: This study provides the pre-clinical evidence that LXR agonist is a promising therapy for pancreatic cancer.
