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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a rare but critical subpopulation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), contributing to therapy resistance and disease relapse. The CXCR1 signaling axis has been implicated in CSC maintenance across multiple cancers. We investigated the role of CXCR1 in CSC-like phenotypes in PDAC by analyzing its expression, along with established CSC markers, in chemotherapy-resistant (GemR) and parental PDAC cell lines under various treatment conditions. GemR cells exhibited elevated levels of CXCR1, its ligand CXCL6, and CSC markers compared to parental lines. Gemcitabine treatment increased the expression of CXCR1 and CSC-associated markers in parental cells, suggesting therapy-induced enrichment of CSC-like populations. Additionally, GemR cells had a higher frequency of CD44
