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 (PDAC) is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Despite different methods of treatment, nearly more than 90% of patients with PDAC die shortly after diagnosis. Contrary to promising results in other cancers, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) showed limited success in PDAC. Recent studies have shown that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are extensively involved in PDAC cell-immune cell interaction and mediate immune evasion in this vicious cancer. PDAC cells recruit numerous ncRNAs to widely affect the phenotype and function of immune cells through various mechanisms. For instance, PDAC cells upregulate miR-301a and downregulate miR-340 to induce M2 polarization of macrophages or overexpress miR-203, miR-146a, and miR-212-3p to downregulate toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), CD80, CD86, CD1a, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II, and CD83, thereby evading recognition by dendritic cells. By downregulating miR-4299 and miR-153, PDAC cells can decrease the expression of NK group 2D (NKG2D) and MHC class I chain-related molecules A and B (MICA/B) to blunt the natural killer (NK) cell response. PDAC cells also highly express lncRNA AL137789.1, hsa_circ_0046523, lncRNA LINC00460, and miR-155-5p to upregulate immune checkpoint proteins and escape T cell cytotoxicity. On the other hand, ncRNAs derived from suppressive immune cells promote proliferation, invasion, and drug resistance in PDAC cells. ncRNAs can be applied to overcome resistance to ICIs, monitor the immune microenvironment of PDAC, and predict response to ICIs. This Review article comprehensively discusses recent findings regarding the roles of ncRNAs in the immune evasion of PDAC.
