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

Objectives: Gemcitabine, a first-line chemotherapeutic nucleoside analog drug (NAD) for pancreatic cancer, faces limitations due to drug resistance. Characterizing pancreatic cancer cells' transport characteristics may help identify the mechanisms behind drug resistance, and develop more effective therapeutic strategies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the nucleoside transport properties of Panc-1 cells, one of the commonly used pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines. Materials and Methods: To assess the presence of equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (ENT-1) in Panc-1 cells, we performed immunofluorescence staining, western blot analysis, and S-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI) binding assays. We also conducted standard uptake assays to measure the sodium-independent uptake of [3H]-labeled chloroadenosine, hypoxanthine, and uridine. In addition, we determined the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC Results: The sodium-independent uptake of [3H]-labeled chloroadenosine, hypoxanthine, and uridine was measured using standard uptake assays, and the transport rates were determined as 111.1 ± 3.4 pmol/mg protein/10 s, 62.5 ± 4.8 pmol/mg protein/10 s, and 101.3 ± 2.5 pmol/mg protein/10 s, respectively. Furthermore, the presence of ENT-1 protein was confirmed using NBTI binding assays (B Conclusion: These results suggest that Panc-1 is a suitable preclinical cellular model for studying NAD transport properties and potential therapies in pancreatic cancer and pharmaceutical research.
