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

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant diseases and has a poor prognosis. The screening and validation of biomarkers with predictive value for prognosis and treatment efficacy are important. To identify potential prognostic markers of pancreatic cancer patients, we conducted a study that included 99 pancreatic cancer patients. Three patients with PFS>18 months were enrolled in the treat group, and three patients with PFS<12 months were enrolled in the control group. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between these two groups were analyzed by whole-genome expression microarray. A total of 178 DEGs were identified, including 110 up-regulated and 68 down-regulated genes. Next, 24 candidate genes were selected for validation by qPCR based on fold change and previous studies. The results showed that the mRNA levels of four candidate genes, including ACSL5, SLC44A4, LOX, and TOX3, were correlated with PFS. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to validate the protein expression levels of these four markers. The results showed that patients with LOX
