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 cancer represents one of the most lethal disease worldwide but still orphan of a molecularly driven therapeutic approach, although many genomic and transcriptomic classifications have been proposed over the years. Clinical heterogeneity is a hallmark of this disease, as different patients show different responses to the same therapeutic regimens. However, genomic analyses revealed quite a homogeneous disease picture, with very common mutations in four genes only (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, and SMAD4) and a long tail of other mutated genes, with doubtful pathogenic meaning. Even bulk transcriptomic classifications could not resolve this great heterogeneity, as many informations related to small cell populations within cancer tissue could be lost. At the same time, single cell analysis has emerged as a powerful tool to dissect intratumoral heterogeneity like never before, with possibility of generating a new disease taxonomy at unprecedented molecular resolution. In this review, we summarize the most relevant genomic, bulk and single-cell transcriptomic classifications of pancreatic cancer, and try to understand how novel technologies, like single cell analysis, could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for this highly lethal disease.
