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

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignancies and new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (B3GNT5) may be a potential option for cancer treatment, but its role in PC remains unknown. In this study, we first demonstrated through bioinformatics analysis that B3GNT5 was high expression in PC and predicted poor prognosis. We further constructed B3GNT5 overexpression or knockdown cell lines by employing lentivirus packaging techniques and confirmed that B3GNT5 could promote tumor cell viability and autonomous growth using cultured cells and vivo xenograft models. In addition, we found that knockdown of B3GNT5 in PC cells inhibited cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, as well as stemness of cancer stem cells and enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity to gemcitabine. Mechanistically, overexpression of the transcription factor STAT5B in PC cells enhanced the transcriptional activity of the B3GNT5 promoter. Our work confirmed a tumor-promotive role of B3GNT5 in PC pathogenesis.
