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

Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1), a secreted protein, has been demonstrated as an oncogene in many types of human cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, little is known about the prognostic value of CTHRC1 in PDAC. In current study, we investigated the expression pattern and underlying clinical significance of CTHRC1 in PDAC. Data from public PDAC microarray datasets, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that CTHRC1 expression was dramatically increased in PDAC compared with normal tissues at both mRNA and protein level, which was consistent with previous studies. Analysis of its correlation with clinicopathological parameters indicated that high protein expression level of CTHRC1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion and perineural invasion. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with higher CTHRC1 expression exhibited a remarkably shorter overall survival in four different PDAC patient cohorts. Importantly, univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that CTHRC1 protein expression level was a significant and independent prognostic factor for overall survival rate of PDAC patients. Together, these data suggested that CTHRC1 is an unfavorable biomarker of prognosis in PDAC and may serve as a potential therapeutic candidate for PDAC treatment.
