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

backgroundDeregulation of cell cycle takes place during the development of many cancers as well as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), which develops from precursor lesions, most frequently including pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN).

aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the expression of p16, p21, and p53 proteins taking part in the regulation of the cell cycle in normal pancreatic ducts and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia at its various advancing stages.

methodsThe expressions of p16, p21, and p53 were assessed immunohistochemically in 70 patients with different pancreatic diseases (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cysts), showing also pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. The results correlated with chosen clinicopathological parameters.

resultsOur study revealed a difference in p16, p21, and p53 expressions between normal pancreatic ducts and various stages of PanIN. p16 expression progressively decreased, whereas p21 and p53 increased from normal pancreas to PanIN 1, 2, and 3. The expression of p21 was associated with age, p53 with PanIN location in the pancreas and p16 with the type of primary diseases. Simultaneously, we observed a directly proportional relationship between the expression of p21 and p53 proteins and inversely proportional between the p16 and the p21 and p53 proteins.

conclusionsp16, p21, and p53 proteins play an important role in the deregulation of the cell cycle and participate in the development of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Immunohistochemical evaluation of their expressions may be helpful in the diagnosis of PanIN.
