Revealing splenectomy-driven microRNA hsa-7b-5p's role in pancreatic cancer progression.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Splenectomy often accompanies distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. However, debates persist on splenic function loss impact. Prior studies in mice revealed splenectomy promotes pancreatic cancer growth by altering CD4/Foxp3 and CD8/Foxp3 ratios. The effect on other immune cells remains unclear. Clinical observations indicate splenectomy induces immunosuppression, heightening recurrence and metastasis risk. Here, we established an orthotopic pancreatic cancer model with splenectomy and observed a significant increase in tumor burden. Flow cytometry revealed elevated MDSCs, CD8+PD-1high+ T cells, and reduced CD4
