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 remains one of the most formidable challenges in oncology, with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Understanding the key pathways affecting cancer progression is crucial for the development of therapeutic strategies. Here, we reveal a pivotal role of Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using transcriptome sequencing, proteomic analyses and engineered mouse model. Mechanistically, our findings indicate that this effect is, at least in part, through the regulation of Polo-like kinase 1 and Polo-like kinase 1-mediated β-catenin signaling. Restoration of either Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 or Polo-like kinase 1 expression in Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1-deficient cells reverses the defects of β-catenin signaling, facilitates tumor cell proliferation and elicits macrophage infiltration. In addition, pharmacological inhibition of Polo-like kinase 1 strongly increases the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic response against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, alleviating tumor burden in mice. Our findings suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
