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

objectivesWe investigated whether annexin A8 (A-A8), a Ca-binding protein overexpressed in pancreatic cancer, plays a role in cell growth and migration and investigated its association with pancreatic cancer prognosis.

methodsClinicopathological features and associations between increased A-A8 expression (determined by immunohistochemistry) and histologic grade were studied in a tissue microarray of 90 patients with resected stage I/II pancreatic cancer. We investigated A-A8's effect on cell migration, proliferation, and colony formation in 2 pancreatic cancer cells (BXPC-3 and Panc-1). Statistical analyses included Fisher exact test, t test, analysis of variance, and survival analysis.

resultsWestern blot showed increased A-A8 expression in human pancreatic cancer cells, with A-A8 knockdown in BXPC-3 and Panc-1 cells demonstrating decreased cell viability (P = 0.017 and P = 0.001), migration (2.5 vs 0.9 mm and 1.6 vs 1 mm at 96 hours; P = 0.048 and P = 0.004), and colony formation (approximately 75% and 40% from scramble; P ≤ 0.01), respectively. In our tissue microarray, A-A8 expression increased 5.9-fold (r = 0.31; P = 0.019) from low- to high-grade tumors, correlating with tumor grade (r = 0.23; P = 0.027). In addition, high A-A8 expression was associated with a decreased 5-year survival (P = 0.042).

conclusionsOur study is the first showing that increased A-A8 expression is associated with poor prognosis in early-stage pancreatic cancer, thus supporting its further investigation as a future therapeutic target and prognostic marker.
