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

Dishevelled-2 (DVL2) has been proven to be involved in the tumorigenesis of several human cancers, such as colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, etc. However, its role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. The present study investigated the effects of aberrantly expressed DVL2 on PDAC. A total of 97 pancreatic cancer (PC) samples and 85 adjacent normal samples were obtained from patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with primary PDAC. The present study demonstrated that DVL2 expression was upregulated in PDAC tissues and was positively associated with advanced clinical stage and lymph node metastasis in patients with PDAC. In addition, patients with high expression of DVL2 had a shorter overall survival rate compared with those with low expression. To elucidate the role of DVL2 in PDAC, lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA was used to silence DVL2 and its physiological function was analyzed in CFPAC-1 and PANC-1 cells. The results indicated that DVL2 downregulation significantly impaired its oncogenic functions including cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, DVL2 knockdown inhibits the proliferation and invasion of PC cells
