RETRACTION: NNK From Tobacco Smoking Enhances Pancreatic Cancer Cell Stemness and Chemoresistance by Creating a β2AR-Akt Feedback Loop That Activates Autophagy.
Article in Molecular oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
retractionX. Chen, W. Zhang, R. Liu, Z. Zhu, M. Gong, Q. Wang, W. Qian, Z. Wu, Q. Ma and Z. Wang, "NNK From Tobacco Smoking Enhances Pancreatic Cancer Cell Stemness and Chemoresistance by Creating a β2AR-Akt Feedback Loop That Activates Autophagy," Molecular Oncology 16, no. 15 (2022): 2881-2895, https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.13230. The above article, published online on 20 May 2022 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor-in-Chief, Kevin Ryan; FEBS Press; and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed following concerns raised by a third party. An investigation identified duplication between Figure 5F of this article and a figure published earlier in another article by a different author group. The authors explained that the image was used as reference material and mistakenly incorporated into the figure. The authors provided some supporting data, but this did not meet the criteria for raw data. Given the image duplication and the lack of appropriate raw data, the editors consider the results to be unreliable.
