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) incidence is increasing annually globally, and the five-year survival rate of patients with PC is approximately 10%. Cellular senescence is a regulatory mechanism against cancer that prevents tumor development by inhibiting the proliferation of damaged or abnormal cells. However, the mechanisms underlying cellular senescence in PC is unclear. Sciellin (SCEL) is a precursor protein of the cornified envelope predominantly enriched in epithelial cells. Previous studies have discovered potential links between SCEL and cellular senescence through bioinformatics analysis. Therefore, the specific role of SCEL in cellular senescence and the malignant features of PC are unclear. In vivo and in vitro assays were performed to investigate the role of SCEL in PC cell senescence, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify the Notch signaling pathways activated by SCEL, and coimmunoprecipitation was used to detect proteins that interact with SCEL. The results revealed that SCEL was significantly upregulated in PC tissues and cell models and was correlated with poor clinical outcomes. Further investigation revealed that the interaction between SCEL and Jagged-1 promotes the activation of the Notch signaling pathway, effectively inhibiting the senescence of PC cells while enhancing their proliferation, invasion, and metastatic capabilities. Therefore, SCEL is a potential therapeutic target for PC.
