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

Perineural invasion (PNI), a prominent pathological feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is closely associated with poor prognosis. Clarifying its mechanism is therefore critical for developing new therapies. Recent research has focused on the crosstalk between tumors and Schwann cells (SCs), particularly the role of SC dedifferentiation in facilitating PNI. In this study, by integrating RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell analysis of clinical samples, we identified significant enrichment of dedifferentiated SCs and upregulation of key markers (p75NTR, SOX2, and c-Jun) in PNI regions. Moreover, PTGES was more highly expressed in the central region of the PNI than in the other regions of the PNI. Coculture experiments revealed that PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells enhanced SC dedifferentiation, and this process facilitated pancreatic cancer cell malignancy. Furthermore, PTGES upregulation in the coculture system mediated prostaglandin E
