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

backgroundCD151, c-Met, and integrin alpha3/alpha6 are all involved in the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signal pathway, which plays an important role in the malignant progression of tumors.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to explore the expression and prognostic significance of these proteins in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

methodsWe used immunohistochemical methods to investigate the expression patterns of CD151, c-Met, and integrin alpha3/alpha6proteins in 71 patients with PDAC and in ten samples of normal pancreatic tissue. We also assessed correlations between these proteins and clinicopathological parameters and survival of PDAC patients using various statistical methods.

resultsCD151, c-Met, and integrin alpha3/alpha6 were all overexpressed in PDAC. CD151 and c-Met overexpressions were significantly associated with TNM stage (p=0.001 and p=0.038, respectively) and lymph node invasion (p=0.000, p=0.012, respectively). A significant positive linear correlation was found between CD151 and c-Met (r=0.583; p=0.000), integrin alpha3 (r=0.457; p=0.000), and integrin alpha6 (r=0.671; p=0.000). Overexpression of CD151, c-Met, integrin alpha3, or integrin alpha6 was related to poor survival of PDAC patients (p=0.000, p=0.000, p=0.005, and p=0.003, respectively), and CD151 and c-Met were independent factors in prognosis of PDAC.

conclusionsCD151, c-Met, and integrin alpha3/alpha6 were all overexpressed in PDAC. CD151 and c-Met might be new molecular markers to predict the prognosis of PDAC patients.
