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 cancer (PC) represents a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by a 5 year survival rate of less than 12%. Recent investigations suggest that mitophagy may constitute a potential therapeutic target for PC. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying circ-0030167's regulation of PC, extending our prior investigations. mRNA sequencing analysis demonstrated significant enrichment of mitophagy-related signaling pathways in PC cells overexpressing circ-0030167. Integrated analysis utilizing RNA-binding protein (RBP) databases identified IGF2BP1 as a binding partner, a finding corroborated by RNA pull-down assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiments, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) validation. Cell-derived xenograft (CDX) assays confirmed that circ-0030167 enhances IGF2BP1 protein stability. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis combined with mRNA-seq data revealed HMOX1 as a downstream target gene within the circ-0030167/IGF2BP1-mediated mitophagy pathway. Functional assays measuring ferroptosis-related parameters-cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and Fe
