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

The present study identified differentially‑expressed genes (DEGs) between pancreatic cancer (PC) tissues and normal tissues, and assessed genetic factors associated with the pathogenesis of PC. The mRNA expression microarray dataset, GSE16515, containing 52 samples, including 16 paired tumor and normal tissue samples, and 20 tumor samples, was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Raw data were normalized and DEGs were identified. Subsequently, clustering was performed, protein‑protein interaction networks were drawn, and functional and pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were performed. Copy number variations of DEGs were also identified. A total of 1,765 DEGs between PC and normal tissues were identified, including 1,312 upregulated and 453 downregulated DEGs. Upregulated DEGs were associated with the regulation of nucleocytoplasmic and intracellular transport, whereas downregulated DEGs were associated with the response to organic substances and hormone stimulus. The pancreatic cancer pathway was connected to three DEGs, namely transforming growth factor β1 (TGFB1), TGFβ receptor 1 (TGFBR1) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), which had 2, 3 and 5 CNVs, respectively. These results indicated the important roles of TGFB1, TGFBR1 and EGF in the pathogenesis of PC. These genes may be potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of PC.
