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

backgroundMetastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) bears a dismal prognosis due to the limited activity of systemic chemotherapy. In our platform for precision medicine, we aim to offer molecular-guided treatments to patients without further standard therapy options.

methodsIn this single center, real-world retrospective analysis of our platform, we describe the molecular-based therapy approaches used in all 50 patients diagnosed with therapy-refractory mPDAC. A molecular portrait of the tumor specimens was created by next-generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry (IHC), microsatellite instability (MSI) testing, and fluorescence

resultsIn total, we detected 123 mutations in 50 patients. The five most frequent mutations were

conclusionBased on our observations, precision medicine approaches are feasible and implementable in clinical routine and may provide molecular-based therapy recommendations for mPDAC.
