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

The aim of this study was to correlate the status of the KLF6 tumour suppressor gene including loss of heterozygosity (LOH), mutation and alternative splicing in human pancreatic cancer with tumour grade and survival. Whereas neither KLF6 loss nor mutation was identified, expression of the KLF6 alternative splice forms was significantly increased in pancreatic tumour samples and cell lines. These cancers demonstrated marked cytoplasmic KLF6 expression, consistent with over-expression and accumulation of KLF6 splice form(s), which lack a nuclear localisation signal. In addition, KLF6 splicing correlated significantly with tumour stage and survival. In summary, pancreatic cancer displays a novel pattern of KLF6 dysregulation through selectively increased expression of KLF6 splice variants. Therefore, determination of KLF6 mRNA splicing levels may represent a novel biomarker predicting prognosis.
