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

Gemcitabine resistance remains a major obstacle in the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Through gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we identified USP10 as a positive regulator of tumor growth and gemcitabine resistance. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that USP10 stabilizes IGF2BP3 by removing its K48- and K63-linked ubiquitin chains, thereby inhibiting proteasomal degradation. The stabilized IGF2BP3 binds to and enhances the stability of STEAP3 mRNA in an m⁶A-dependent manner. Upregulation of STEAP3 suppresses ferroptosis by increasing glutathione levels and reducing lipid peroxidation, ultimately promoting tumor proliferation and gemcitabine resistance. Our study identifies the USP10-IGF2BP3-STEAP3 axis as a critical mechanism underlying chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer, suggesting that targeting USP10 may offer a promising therapeutic strategy for overcoming gemcitabine resistance.
