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

Perineural invasion (PNI) is a hallmark of pancreatic cancer aggressiveness. However, the feasibility of manipulating tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) reprogramming to influence PNI development remains unclear. Methods: Using in vitro (tumor-DRG co-culture) and in vivo (sciatic nerve injection) models coupled with protein identification by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and ChIP-seq, the role of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) is investigated in TAM reprogramming and PNI. SRC-1 is up-regulated in TAMs and promotes PNI by binding to signal transducer and activator of transcription 1(STAT1) to enhance matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP12) transcription. SRC-1 knockdown attenuated M2-like characteristics in TAMs, reduced MMP12 secretion, and suppressed PNI. Importantly, blocking the SRC-1/STAT1/MMP12 axis (using SRC-1-KO TAMs or MMP12 inhibitors) attenuated PNI progression in vivo. SRC-1 reprograms TAMs via STAT1-mediated MMP12 activation to facilitate PNI. Targeting SRC-1 disrupts this axis and presents a novel therapeutic strategy against PNI in pancreatic cancer.
