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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the correlations among the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT); the expressions of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), glucose transporter 3, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); as well as prognosis in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas.

methodsA total of 41 patients with surgically resected and histologically proven invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas who underwent preoperative FDG-PET/CT were assessed. The SUVmax at the primary tumor site was measured by FDG-PET/CT, and immunohistochemical staining of tumor sections was performed for GLUT-1, glucose transporter 3, and EGFR.

resultsHigher FDG uptake (SUVmax, >3.40) and GLUT-1 expression were significantly associated with shorter overall survival (P < 0.05). The SUVmax was not found to be significantly correlated with clinicopathological characteristics such as TNM classification, lymph node metastasis, and tumor differentiation. The EGFR expression was significantly correlated with the SUVmax (P = 0.024).

conclusionsHigher FDG uptake and GLUT-1 expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas seems to be an important prognostic factor. In addition, the EGFR expression was significantly correlated with the SUVmax.
