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 carcinoma is an aggressive tumor that is resistant to treatment regimens. Although the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) overexpression in pancreatic carcinoma cells has been previously reported, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of XIAP expression with pancreatic carcinoma outcome. Specimens were obtained from 54 patients who underwent resection for pancreatic cancer. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate post-operative survival. The results of this analysis revealed a significantly shorter overall survival time in patients with a high compared to those with a low XIAP expression (P=0.041). Results of the multivariate analysis revealed that XIAP expression was identified as an independent predictor for pancreatic carcinoma outcome [relative risk, 1.771; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.099-2.852; P=0.019]. Moreover, XIAP levels were associated with pancreatic carcinoma characteristics, including tumor invasion status and histological grade. XIAP overexpression shortens the survival of pancreatic cancer patients probably by modifying their resistance to apoptosis and the proliferation capacity of pancreatic carcinoma cells. Thus, XIAP expression analysis can help in the identification of patient subgroups at high risk of a poor disease outcome.
