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

backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies with unfavorable prognosis globally. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that SEPP1 was low expressed in PC and related to tumor immune microenvironment, but its biological function was still unclear.

methodsPC xenograft and liver metastasis mouse models, as well as PC cell-MDSCs co-culture system, were established for in vivo and in vitro studies, respectively. The expression and localization of key molecules were detected by qRT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry was employed to assess the abundance of immune cells and cell apoptosis. The interactions among KAT8, SEPP1 and LRP8 were detected by co-IP. Cell viability, migration and invasion were monitored by CCK-8 and transwell assays.

resultsSEPP1 was downregulated in pancreatic tumors, and it was positively correlated with the abundance of CD8

conclusionKAT8 catalyzed the acetylation of SEPP1 at K247/249 and modulated the activity of CD8
