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

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) poses a major challenge due to the lack of effective treatment options and its extremely poor prognosis. Nanodrug delivery systems can improve drug solubility and enable efficient targeted delivery, offering new possibilities for PDAC therapy. Methods: The oncogenic role of KCa3.1 in PDAC was validated through analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases combined with functional assays. To overcome the limitations of conventional therapies, we developed a targeted nanodrug delivery system, TRAM@PPF, based on PLGA nanoparticles modified with polyethylene glycol-folate (PEG Results: The synthesized TRAM@PPF nanoparticles demonstrated uniform size (~142 nm) and excellent stability, with superior cellular uptake compared to non-folate-modified nanoparticles. In vitro, TRAM@PPF showed potent antitumor activity by markedly inhibiting cell proliferation and enhancing apoptosis. Following intravenous administration in pancreatic cancer mouse models, TRAM@PPF significantly inhibited tumor growth, reduced tumor weight, and prolonged survival. Moreover, TRAM@PPF showed excellent biosafety in animal models, suggesting strong potential for further clinical translation in PDAC therapy. Conclusion: TRAM@PPF preserves folate-mediated tumor-targeting capability while significantly enhancing antitumor activity, offering a promising strategy for targeted therapy of pancreatic cancer.
