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

purposeAberrant expression of microRNAs contributes to the progression of pancreatic cancer by targeting downstream genes. A novel regulatory axis, miR-1224-5p/ELF3, was identified by bioinformatic analysis and experimental verification. Studies of the underlying molecular mechanisms behind this axis lead to a better understanding of the development of pancreatic cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe differential expression of miR-1224-5p and ELF3 was verified based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and clinical samples. The relationship between miR-1224-5p and ELF3 was demonstrated by luciferase assay and Western blot. The related signaling pathways of the miR-1224-5p/ELF3 axis in pancreatic cancer were investigated by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and verified by Western blot. An analysis between ELF3 expression and immune infiltration was performed. Cellular and animal experiments were utilized to explore the effects of miR-1224-5p and ELF3 in pancreatic cancer.

resultsSuppressed expression of miR-1224-5p in pancreatic tumor tissues and cancer cells was identified first. Furthermore, miR-1224-5p is correlated with clinicopathological features, and decreased expression of miR-1224-5p indicates poor prognosis. miR-1224-5p serves as a tumor suppressor and inhibits malignant behaviors of pancreatic cancer based on in vivo and in vitro assays. The putative target gene

conclusionThe miR-1224-5p/ELF3 axis may serve as a new diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic biomarker in pancreatic cancer. The related PI3K/AKT/Notch/EMT signaling pathways greatly promote the elucidation of the progression of pancreatic cancer.
