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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) mortality is primarily attributed to metastasis and chemotherapy resistance. In this research, the long non-coding RNA MACC1-AS1 was studied, playing a significant role in regulating lipid oxidation processes. This regulation could further lead to the inhibition of ferroptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs, making it a contributing factor to gemcitabine resistance in PDA. In both gemcitabine-resistant PDA patients and mouse models, the elevated expression level of MACC1-AS1 in the tumors was noted. Additionally, overexpression of MACC1-AS1 in pancreatic cancer cells was found to enhance tolerance to gemcitabine and suppress ferroptosis. Proteomic analysis of drug-resistant pancreatic cells revealed that overexpressed MACC1-AS1 inhibited the ubiquitination degradation of residues in the protein kinase STK33 by MDM4. Furthermore, its accumulation in the cytoplasm activated STK33, further activating the ferroptosis-suppressing proteins GPX4, thereby counteracting gemcitabine-induced cellular oxidative damage. These findings suggested that the long non-coding RNA MACC1-AS1 could play a significant role in the ability of pancreatic cancer cells to evade iron-mediated ferroptosis induced by gemcitabine. This discovery holds promise for developing clinical therapeutic strategies to combat chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.
