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

During tumor initiation, oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is proposed to limit the progression of preneoplasms to invasive carcinoma unless circumvented by the acquisition of certain tumor suppressor mutations. Using a variety of biomarkers, OIS has been previously reported in a wide range of human and murine precursor lesions, including the pancreas, lung, colon and skin. Here, we have characterized a panel of potential OIS biomarkers in human and murine pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), and found that only senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SAβgal) activity is specifically enriched in these precursors, compared with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Indeed, many of the other proposed OIS biomarkers are detected in actively proliferating PanIN epithelium and in cells within the microenvironment. Surprisingly, acinar to ductal metaplasia (ADM), a distinct preneoplasm that is potentially a precursor for PanIN, also exhibits SAβgal activity and contains a higher content of p21 and p53 than PanIN. Therefore, SAβgal activity is the only biomarker that accurately identifies a small and heterogeneous population of non-proliferating premalignant cells in the pancreas, and the concomitant expression of p53 and p21 in ADM supports the possibility that PanIN and ADM each exhibit discrete senescence blocks.
