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 evaluated the lnc-RNAs as biomarker to predict efficacy of gemcitabine (GEM) based chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for locally advanced or advanced pancreatic cancer patients. We selected 62 patients with GEM based chemotherapy and divided two groups according to the PFS. We found that the expression of MALAT1, HOTTIP, and PVT1 in serum had a significant difference among the two groups. Furthermore, we estimated the PFS and response rate based on the expression levels of MALAT1, HOTTIP and PVT1. The response rate of two groups showed a significant difference according to the expression levels of MALAT1, HOTTIP and PVT1. Based on the expression levels of MALAT1, HOTTIP and PVT1, the response rate of high expression of PVT1 and low expression of PVT1 was respectively 14.8% and 37.1% and 18.2% (high HOTTIP group) and 37.9% (low HOTTIP group), 10.7%(high MALAT1 group) and 41.1% (low MALAT1 group). The PFS of patients with high and low expression levels PVT1 was 2.6 months and 4.0 months (p<0.001), respectively. The PFS of patients with high and low expression levels of HOTTIP was 2.7 months and 4.1 months (p<0.001), respectively, and the PFS of patients with high and low expression levels of MALAT1 was 3.0 months and 3.7 months (P=0.026), respectively. The results suggest that MALAT1, HOTTIP and PVT1 as predictors to predict the efficacy of GEM based chemotherapy in first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer patients.
