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

backgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human cancers. Aberrant expression of genes plays important role in the procession of PDAC. The analysis of gene expression profile will contribute to the research of carcinoma mechanism.

objectiveThis present study is focused to investigate the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from 3 PDAC microarray datasets, which would provide candidate genes for putative biomarkers to understand the mechanism of PDAC and potential targets of treatment.

methodBased on the overlap genes obtained from 3 GEO datasets, the hub genes were identified using STRING and Cytoscape plugin MCODE. The enrichment and function analysis were applied using DAVID. The protein-protein interaction network was performed using cBioPortal and UCSC Xena. The Oncomine was finally used to determine the candidate gene by analyzing their expression between pancreas sample and PDAC sample.

results25 hub genes were selected from a total of 1006 DEGs from 3 GEO datasets, consisting of 14 upregulated genes and 11 downregulated genes. The overall decline of hub gene expression enriched in G1 phase of cell cycle in other subtypes of pancreatic cancer. Oncomine database was ultimately performed to determine the 8 candidate genes, including CXCL5, CCL20, NMU, F2R, ANXA1, EDNRA, LPAR6, and GNA15.

conclusionsConclusively, 8 candidate genes would become the potential PDAC combined biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.
