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

Cell plasticity is a hallmark of cancer, enabling tumor cells to acquire multiple phenotypes responsible for tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. In this issue of the JCI, Kawai and colleagues leveraged genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to demonstrate that loss of Pbrm1, a member of the SWI/SNF complex, drives dedifferentiation and aggressive tumor features. Pbrm1 loss activated a program of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and allowed the emergence of poorly differentiated histologies that are commonly associated with high recurrence rate and dismal prognosis. These findings reveal the role of the SWI/SNF complex during PDAC evolution in maintaining cell identity and restraining the progression of this lethal disease.
