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) has high morbidity and mortality. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. Its diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Liquid biopsy makes early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer possible. We analyzed the expression profiles of 2,555 serum miRNAs in 100 pancreatic cancer patients and 150 healthy controls. With advanced feature selection methods, we identified 13 pancreatic cancer signature miRNAs that can classify the pancreatic cancer patients and healthy controls. For pancreatic cancer treatment, operation is still the first choice. But many pancreatic cancer patients are already inoperable. Therefore, we compared the 79 inoperable and 21 operable patients and identified 432 miRNAs that can predict whether a pancreatic cancer patient was operable. The functional analysis of the 13 pancreatic cancer signatures and the 432 operability miRNAs revealed the molecular mechanisms of pancreatic cancer and shield light on the diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic cancer in clinical practice.
