Targeting Mast Cell Activation and MIF-Mediated Remodelling Enhances Chemotherapy Response in Pancreatic Cancer.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Neoadjuvant gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (AG) is increasingly applied in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), yet its effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain incompletely defined. By integrating eight single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and nine multicenter transcriptomic cohorts, the dual impact of AG in PDAC is delineated. AG shifts residual malignant cells from basal toward a more indolent classical phenotype and remodels the TME into a more heterogeneous and intricate landscape. Specifically, AG activates tumor-associated mast cells (TAMCs), reprogrammes myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts (myCAFs) into inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs), and enhances suppressive crosstalk between TAMCs, iCAFs, and T cells via the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) axis. Concurrently, AG reduces exhausted T cells and regulatory T cells while enriching cytotoxic natural killer T cells, reshaping the immune milieu in a manner potentially favorable for immunotherapy. In orthotopic and subcutaneous PDAC models, genetic ablation of TAMCs using Kit
