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) is one of the most aggressive cancer types, and is characterized by rapid progression, resistance to therapy and poor overall prognosis. Adhesion molecules can influence signal transduction, survival, pathogenesis, development and progression in PDAC. However, the role of adhesion molecules and therapeutic targets in PDAC is inadequately characterized. Therefore, the present review critically evaluated the interactions, associations and co-expression patterns of adhesion molecules in PDAC. The interaction between adhesion molecules, such as carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) and integrins, can influence the differentiation, activation, proliferation, metastasis and cytoskeletal remodeling of cancer cells. In addition, adhesion molecules can regulate tumor progression, metastasis, and cellular adhesion and signaling. The present analysis has brought to attention the interaction between CEACAM6 and integrins, which may affect the prognosis of PDAC. Functional and molecular evaluation revealed that CEACAM6 contributes to resistance to anoikis in PDAC through interactions with partner proteins and activation of survival signaling pathways, particularly the Src/focal adhesion kinase axis. In conclusion, the interaction between CEACAM6 and integrins can influence PDAC progression, desmoplasia and treatment resistance. Targeting this adhesion signaling axis presents a promising strategy to improve diagnostic precision and develop more effective personalized therapies for PDAC.
