Performance of candidate urinary biomarkers for pancreatic cancer - Correlation with pancreatic cyst malignant progression?
Article in American journal of surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIntraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are precursors of pancreatic cancer. Potential biomarkers of IPMN progression have not been identified in urine. A few urinary biomarkers were reported to be predictive of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we seek to assess their ability to detect high-risk IPMN.
methodsUrine was collected from patients undergoing pancreatic resection and healthy controls. TIMP-1(Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1), LYVE-1(Lymphatic Vessel Endothelial Receptor 1), and PGEM(Prostaglandin E Metabolite) levels were determined by ELISA and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis.
resultsMedian urinary TIMP-1 levels were significantly lower in healthy controls (n = 9; 0.32 ng/mg creatinine) compared to PDAC (n = 13; 1.95) but not significantly different between low/moderate-grade (n = 20; 0.71) and high-grade/invasive IPMN (n = 20; 1.12). No significant difference in urinary LYVE-1 was detected between IPMN low/moderate (n = 16; 0.37 ng/mg creatinine) and high/invasive grades (n = 21; 0.09). Urinary PGEM levels were not significantly different between groups.
conclusionsUrinary TIMP-1, LYVE-1, and PGEM do not correlate with malignant potential of pancreatic cysts.
