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

Background: Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) offers a promising treatment for pancreatic cancer by using high-voltage pulses to kill tumor cells. But variations in tumor size and shape can lead to uneven electric fields, causing some cells to undergo only reversible electroporation (RE) and survive. However, RE can temporarily increase the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing small molecules to enter. H101 virus is an oncolytic adenovirus with deleted E1B-55kD and E3 regions that selectively targets and kills tumor cells. This study aimed to investigate whether the H101 oncolytic virus can serve as a supplementary therapeutic approach to kill tumors combined with RE. Methods: We first explored how RE and the H101 oncolytic virus, both individually and together, affected tumor cell proliferation and migration in cellular experiments. Subsequent Results: The combination of RE with the H101 oncolytic virus effectively inhibited pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and migration. Experiments using mouse subcutaneous tumor models confirmed that the combination therapy significantly reduced tumor growth. Further analysis bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq revealed that this combined approach activates the JNK-MAPK pathway, inducing apoptosis and enhancing therapeutic effects. Conclusions: This combination boosts therapeutic effectiveness by activating the JNK-MAPK pathway and promoting tumor cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that the H101 oncolytic virus could serve as a valuable adjunct to improve the efficacy of IRE treatment.
