Baicalein inhibits DDX60 to suppress pancreatic cancer growth and regulate the tumor microenvironment.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveTo explore the effects of baicalein on immune cell infiltration and tumor progression in pancreatic cancer by modulating DDX60 expression.
methodsRNA-seq data of pancreatic cancer and normal tissues were obtained from the UCSC XENA database. DDX60 expression differences and their associations with patient prognosis and immune infiltration were analyzed. Panc02 pancreatic cancer cells were treated with baicalein (0, 20, 40, 60 μmol/L) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay, while apoptosis and DDX60 expression were evaluated by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR, respectively. In vivo, tumor-bearing mice received baicalein, and tumor volume, immune cell infiltration, and DDX60 expression in tumor tissues were assessed.
resultsDDX60 expression was significantly upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to normal tissues (P < 0.05). Patients with low DDX60 had better survival (P < 0.05). DDX60 levels correlated significantly with multiple immune cell types, including DCs, eosinophils, macrophages, neutrophils, T cell subsets, and NK cells (P < 0.05). Baicalein inhibited Panc02 cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P < 0.05), accompanied by downregulation of DDX60 (P < 0.05). In vivo, baicalein significantly suppressed tumor growth and increased CD8
conclusionBaicalein suppresses pancreatic cancer growth and promotes apoptosis, apparently through downregulation of DDX60 and modulation of immune responses in the tumor microenvironment.
