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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease, despite advances in imaging, surgery and a greater understanding of its molecular biology. Patient outcomes remain poor due to an inability to detect disease early and resistance to anticancer treatments. miRNAs are promised to become ideal cancer biomarkers, as they are tumor and tissue specific and also incredibly stable molecules. So far, large profiling studies of the PDAC miRNome have identified the 'usual suspects' known to be deregulated in solid tumors, such as oncomiR-21, as well as others that could be more robust for differentiating malignant from benign pancreatic disease. However, many of these are yet to be validated clinically. The paper under evaluation provides further evidence for the use of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for PDAC. We have reviewed the use of miRNAs as diagnostic analytes for detecting PDAC in biopsies.
