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

This study aimed to assess the relationship between serum CA724 levels and the unresectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A total of 302 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were analyzed for the potential association between serum CA724 levels and the unresectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Serum CA724 levels in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma were remarkably higher than those with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (P < 0.001). Patients with elevated serum CA724 levels exhibited a 12.27-fold higher risk of unresectability than those with normal serum CA724 levels after adjusting for age, sex, and tumor location (95% CI = 5.28-28.51, P < 0.001). The analysis of receiver operating characteristics demonstrated that CA724 had superior predictive value to other tumor markers (AUC was 0.77 ± 0.03, 0.65 ± 0.04, and 0.62 ± 0.04 for CA724, CA125, and CA199, respectively). CA724 appeared to be a better predictor of unresectability than CA199 and CA125.
