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 identification and characterization of precursor lesions is fundamental to develop screening programs for early diagnosis and treatment, aiming at reducing cancer-related mortality. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive disease that becomes clinical apparent only in advanced stages. In order to enable screening procedures for early detection of PDAC, an exact characterization of precursor lesions is of utmost importance. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN) are the most frequent and best characterized precursors of PDAC and are lesions with a ductal phenotype thus indicating a ductal cell origin of PDAC. However, evidence from genetically engineered mouse models suggests that tubular complexes (TC) originating through a process of acinar-ductal metaplasia (ADM) form atypical flat lesions (AFL) that may represent an alternative pathway of pancreatic carcinogenesis. Based on a thorough morphological and genetic analysis of murine TC, AFL and PanIN and their human counterparts, a new dual model of pancreatic carcinogenesis is proposed taking into account the role of AFL as possible new precursors of PDAC.
