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 (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers, with a 5-year survival rate below 13% and limited treatment options due to rapid metastasis and pronounced chemoresistance. Gemcitabine (Gem) remains a first-line chemotherapy agent; however, its clinical efficacy is hindered by poor cellular uptake, incomplete activation, and acquired drug resistance. To address these limitations, we develop redox-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for the mono- and codelivery of Gem and Cisplatin (cisPt). In this work, we tune the loading and ratio of Gem and cisPt within MSNs. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of MSN-based delivery system in Gem-resistant (GR) PDAC cell lines, we establish murine (GR-KCM) and human (GR-BxPC3) cell models and further evaluate the efficacy in highly GR human cell lines (AsPC1 and HPAFII). In vitro studies demonstrate that Gem-MSNs (10%wt) and Gem-cisPt-MSN (10:9%wt) exhibit the strongest cytotoxicity, even in GR models. Notably, the combination Gem-cisPt-MSN (18:9%wt) induces pronounced S-phase cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species. These findings underscore the potential of MSN-based drug delivery systems to enhance chemotherapy efficacy in treatment-refractory PDAC.
