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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. Late diagnosis, desmoplastic tissue and intrinsic resistance to therapy are among the main reasons for its aggressive phenotype. In addition, it is now appreciated that cancer stem cells - a rare subpopulation of tumor cells highly resistant to therapy - are crucial players in PDAC initiation, progression and resistance to therapy. In a recent article in The Journal of Pathology, Hsu et al elucidated the specific roles of abnormal spindle-like, microcephaly-associated protein (ASPM) isoforms in PDAC. The authors reported that ASPM isoform I (ASPM-iI) is mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of PDAC cells. Its expression is associated with the Wnt signaling pathway, which promotes stemness and maintains the cancer stem cell niche. Clinically, expression of ASPM-iI correlates with poor survival in PDAC patients. Thus, this study revealed a novel prognostic marker as well as a potential therapeutic target for PDAC. © 2019 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
