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 (PC) is a malignancy with little/no warning signs before the disease reaches its ultimate stages. Currently early detection of PC is very difficult because most patients have non-specific symptoms leading to postponing the correct diagnosis. In this study, using multiple bioinformatics tools, we integrated various serum expression profiles of miRNAs to find the most significant miRNA signatures helpful in diagnosis of PC and constructed novel miRNA diagnosis models for PC. Altogether, 27 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) showed area under curve (AUC) score >80%. The most promising miRNAs, miR-1469 and miR-4530, were individually able to distinguish two groups with the highest specificity and sensitivity. By using multivariate cox regression analyses, 5 diagnostic models consisting of different combinations of miRNAs, based on their significant expression algorithms and functional properties were introduced. The correlation model consisting of miR-125a-3p, miR-5100 and miR-642b-3p was the most promising model in the diagnosis of PC patients from healthy controls with an AUC of 0.95, Sensitivity 0.98 and Specificity 0.97. Validation analysis was conducted for considered miRNAs on a final cohort consist of the microarray data from two other datasets (GSE112264 & GSE124158) . These results provide some potential biomarkers for PC diagnosis after testing in large case-control and cohort studies.
