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) remains a major cause of cancer-associated mortality, with poor patient outcome. The present study aimed to identify key candidate genes and investigate the potential molecular mechanisms associated with the progression of PDAC. The GSE46234 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, in order to identify the upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in PDAC. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to determine the biological functions and pathways of the upregulated DEGs, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was subsequently constructed to screen the hub genes. Subsequently, survival analyses of the hub genes were undertaken in patients with PDAC, using The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR analysis was performed to assess the mRNA expression levels of the hub genes associated with the prognosis of patients with PDAC. In the present study, 65 upregulated DEGs were identified. GO analysis suggested that the DEGs were enriched in response to hypoxia, calcium ion and negative regulation of catecholamine. KEGG analysis demonstrated that the DEGs were enriched in gastric acid secretion, the ECM-receptor interaction and the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway. Among the 18 hub genes determined by module screening of the PPI network, upregulation of three key genes, abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein (ASPM), mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine-protein kinase BUB1
