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 cancer is a severe disease, challenging to diagnose and treat, and thereby characterized by a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents approximately 90% of pancreatic cancer cases, while other cases include neuroendocrine carcinoma. Despite the growing knowledge of the pathophysiology of this cancer, the mortality rate caused by it has not been effectively reduced. Recently, microRNAs have aroused great interest among scientists and clinicians, as they are negative regulators of gene expression, which participate in many processes, including those related to the development of pancreatic cancer. The aim of this review is to show how microRNAs (miRNAs) affect key signaling pathways and related cellular processes in pancreatic cancer development, progression, diagnosis and treatment. We included the results of in vitro studies, animal model of pancreatic cancer and those performed on blood, saliva and tumor tissue isolated from patients suffering from PDAC. Our investigation identified numerous dysregulated miRNAs involved in KRAS, JAK/STAT, PI3/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β signaling pathways participating in cell cycle control, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and metastasis. Moreover, some miRNAs (miRNA-23a, miRNA-24, miRNA-29c, miRNA-216a) seem to be engaged in a crosstalk between signaling pathways. Evidence concerning the utility of microRNAs in the diagnosis and therapy of this cancer is poor. Therefore, despite growing knowledge of the involvement of miRNAs in several processes associated with pancreatic cancer, we are beginning to recognize and understand their role and usefulness in clinical practice.
