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 highly aggressive and sensitive to acidic microenvironments, which promote cancer cell survival and invasion. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in cancer biology, helping cells adapt to microenvironmental changes, but their functions in the acidic microenvironment of pancreatic cancer are understudied. This study investigated the role of lncRNA LOC100507424 in pancreatic cancer, previously linked to glioma stem cells. Clinical specimens and cell line models cultured under acidic conditions showed that LOC100507424 was upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and further increased in acidic environments. Functional assays demonstrated that knockdown of LOC100507424 inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Mechanistically, LOC100507424 transcriptionally regulated FOXM1 expression through its interaction with E2F1. In vivo studies confirmed that LOC100507424 promoted tumor growth in nude mice. These findings highlight the significance of lncRNAs in the acidic microenvironment of pancreatic cancer and suggest potential therapeutic targets.
