Review in Annals of medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05754788 (Identification of Gene Expression Profile Associated With Favorable Prognosis in Patients Undergoing Radical Surgery for Pancreatic and Ampullary Adenocarcinoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 67 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is projected to become the second cause of cancer-related deaths by 2020. Although it has traditionally been approached as a disease, accumulated evidences point to the clinical heterogeneity of this disease, which translate into disparity in outcomes among the patients. Much emphasis has been put into patient classification introducing a platform for more tailored therapies. In the last 10 years, there have been important advances in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of PDAC, which has culminated with a comprehensive integrated genomic analysis from RNA expression profiles. Bailey et al. defined four subtypes and the different transcriptional networks underlying them. Firstly, we briefly describe and compare different subtyping approaches, which are mostly based on tissue mRNA expression analysis. We propose that these latest approaches to disease classification embrace not only those patients that are surgically resectable (20%), but even patients ineligible for surgery. Such considerations will include possible reclassification of these specific subtypes, enabling more personalized diagnosis and individualized treatment. The ultimate goal of this review is to identify current challenges in this area and summarize current efforts in developing clinical modalities that can effectively identify these subtypes in order to advance Precision Medicine. KEY MESSAGES   • Pancreatic cancer can no longer be considered as one disease.   • The heterogeneity underlying pancreatic cancer patients makes therapeutic options based on one-size-fits-all approach ineffective.   • Identifying patients that could benefit from a specific treatment would help to avoid futile therapy approaches and to improve outcomes and quality of life of those whose long-term survival is unpromising.
