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

backgroundIdentifying novel predictors of hematogenous metastasis is essential to select optimal therapeutic strategies for pancreatic cancer. The goal of this study was to clarify the clinical implications of p53 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) in pancreatic cancer using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

methodsSpecimens obtained by surgical resection and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the primary tumor were used for IHC. EUS-FNA was performed before any treatment. We analyzed the clinical implications of p53 and PDGFR-β IHC. We also performed a comparative analysis of the IHC findings between surgical and EUS-FNA specimens.

resultsThis study involved 149 patients (120 who did not receive and 29 who received preoperative therapy). EUS-FNA specimens were obtained from 20 patients without preoperative therapy and 20 patients with preoperative therapy. Abnormal p53 and high PDGFR-β expression was significantly correlated with a high incidence of hematogenous metastasis (p < 0.001) and poor postoperative survival (p = 0.006). In patients without preoperative therapy, the results for p53 and PDGFR-β staining were concordant between surgical and EUS-FNA specimens in 95 % of the cases. In patients with preoperative therapy, 80 and 70 % of the patients showed consistent p53 and PDGFR-β expression between surgical and EUS-FNA specimens, respectively.

conclusionsPancreatic cancer patients with simultaneous abnormal p53 and high PDGFR-β expression have a significantly higher risk of hematogenous metastasis and a poor prognosis after surgery. IHC evaluation using EUS-FNA specimens may be able to identify patients with highly metastatic pancreatic cancer who may benefit from aggressive therapeutic intervention.
