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

A20 protein plays essential roles in tumorigenesis, but its value for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remains unclear. Our aim was to determine whether A20 is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The pancreatic cancer tissue microarray contained pancreatic cancer tissues (n = 40) and normal tissues (n = 10) was immunohistochemically assessed for A20 expression. The association of A20 expression with the tumor grade, lymph node metastasis, age and gender in pancreatic cancer patients were estimated by ANOVA. Stronger staining of A20 was observed in the normal tissues compared with that in the pancreatic cancer tissues (P = 0.003). ANOVA analysis showed that the A20 expression was not deeply associated with tumor grade, gender, age or TNM stages. The results implied that low A20 expression is significantly associated with the pancreatic cancer behavior, but is not the sole determinant of pancreatic cancer progression.
