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

Receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is associated with certain aspects of cancer biology and signaling pathways, but its function in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unknown. In the present study, 157 patients with PDAC were enrolled. RACK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed in PDAC tissues and matched adjacent noncancerous tissues by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. RACK1 expression levels in paraffin-embedded PDAC tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry. The associations between RACK1 expression and clinical data were evaluated using χ
