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) shows remarkable propensity to metastasize. This predilection to escape from the primary tumor is driven by paracrine and autocrine mechanisms that guide cancer cells through a multi-step process concluding with colonization in distant tissues. Although cell-intrinsic features support the metastatic ability of cancer cells, permissive microenvironments within the primary organ and at sites of distant metastasis may be rate-limiting. Identification of cancer cell-extrinsic factors that regulate formation of these environments lend new therapeutic targets for intervening on the metastatic cascade. In addition, the bipolar, yet fundamental, role of the immune system in the metastatic process presents therapeutic opportunities. Herein, we review the current knowledge of the metastatic cascade in PDAC, and propose that genomically stable determinants of metastasis (e.g. the pro-metastatic niche and immune system) are actionable targets for preventing, containing, and treating metastasis in PDAC.
