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

Beta-catenin/TCF signaling has been reported to promote the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. However, the regulation for the beta-catenin/TCF transcriptional complex remains largely unknown. Here, we have found that YEATS4 is a positive regulator for Beta-catenin/TCF signaling. The expression of YEATS4 was elevated in clinical pancreatic cancer samples and pancreatic cancer mouse model. Up-regulation of YEATS4 promoted the growth, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, while knocking down the expression of YEATS4 inhibited the growth, migration, invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. Moreover, the mechanism study revealed that YEATS4 interacted with beta-catenin and activated beta-catenin/TCF signaling. Furthermore, knocking down the expression of YEATS4 impaired the malignant transformation of normal pancreatic cells (HPDE6C7) by the oncogenic Ras. Taken together, our study demonstrated the oncogenic roles of YEATS4 in the progression of pancreatic cancer by activating beta-catenin/TCF signaling and suggested that YEATS4 might be a promising therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.
