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

purpose of reviewPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains among the deadliest malignancies worldwide, and effective therapies are still lacking. Actinomycetota are among the richest microbial sources of bioactive secondary metabolites, and three agents in clinical use against pancreatic malignancy derive from them - streptozotocin, everolimus and doxorubicin - though all three are indicated for neuroendocrine rather than ductal tumors. This review provides a critical narrative synthesis of Actinomycetota-derived metabolites evaluated in pancreatic cancer models, with every potency value re-derived from the primary literature and interpreted alongside assay conditions and available mechanistic and in vivo evidence. RECENT

findingsFifty-two compounds from 25 primary reports encompass polyketides, nonribosomal peptides, depsipeptides, RiPPs, alkaloids, ionophores and hybrid scaffolds. Rather than a simple ranking of increasingly potent cytotoxins, the literature poses a sharper question about selectivity. Two compounds are conditionally active: kigamicin D only under nutrient deprivation and BE-43547A
