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

Extensive fibrous stroma plays an important role in gemcitabine (GEM) resistance. However, the mechanism by which pancreatic cancer cells interact with pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) to promote GEM resistance remains unclear. This study investigates the role of metabolic crosstalk between these two cells in inducing GEM resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) of parental and GEM-resistant pancreatic cancer cells are extracted and performed metabolic assays and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) sequencing. Pancreatic cancer cell-derived EVs promote PSCs activation and extracellular matrix formation, and GEM-resistant pancreatic cancer cells produce more asparagine (Asn), favoring PSCs activation. Mechanistically, pancreatic cancer cell-derived EVs mediate linc-ZNF25-1 to promote Asn uptake via the IGF2BP3/c-Myc/SLC1A5 pathway in PSCs. In addition, mouse models elucidate the oncogenic function of linc-ZNF25-1 and the enhanced therapeutic effect of asparaginase (L-ASNase) in combination with GEM in pancreatic cancer. This study demonstrates that pancreatic cancer cell-derived EVs promote the uptake of Asn released from pancreatic cancer cells through the upregulation of SLC1A5 in PSCs, facilitating PSCs activation and pancreatic cancer resistance to GEM. L-ASNase in combination with GEM is a potential therapeutic strategy for targeting stromal cells to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents against pancreatic cancer.
