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 of molecular prognostic markers for pancreatic cancer patients could provide insightful information for their management in the clinic. The aim of the study is to investigate whether or not the expressions of c-Myc and Fas (CD95/APO1) have prognostic relevance for overall survival (OS) in patients with pancreatic cancer. we used immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays containing 162 pancreatic cancer specimens to assess the protein expression levels of c-Myc and Fas. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that high level of c-Myc cytoplasmic expression was significantly correlated with worse survival in patients with pancreatic cancer (P = 0.012), while high level of Fas cytoplasmic expression was significantly associated with better outcome of pancreatic cancer (P = 0.046). However, multivariate Cox model analysis showed that tumor differentiation, lymph node status and c-Myc cytoplasmic expression were significant independent prognostic factors for OS (P < 0.001, P = 0.023, P = 0.001, respectively). On the contrary, Fas cytoplasmic expression did not independently influence patient's prognosis (P = 0.249). Our data suggested that high level of c-Myc cytoplasmic expression may be considered as a valuable marker for prognosis of pancreatic cancer.
