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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) occurs as a complex, multifaceted event driven by the interplay of tumor permissive genetic mutations, nature of cellular origin and microenvironmental stress. In this study, using primary human pancreatic acinar 3D organoids, we performed CRISPR knockout screen targeting 199 previously underappreciated potential tumor suppressors curated from clinical PDAC samples. Our data revealed significant enrichment of a list of candidates, with NF2 emerging as the top target. Functional validation confirmed that loss of NF2 promotes the transition of PDAC to an invasive state, potentially through extracellular matrix modulation. NF2 inactivation was found to enhance PDAC cell fitness under nutrient starvation. This adaptation not only reinforces the oncogenic state but also confers therapeutical resistance. Additionally, we found that NF2 loss is associated with the fibroblast heterogeneity and cancer-stroma communications in tumor evolution. These findings establish
