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 is one of the most life-threatening malignancies worldwide. Despite advances in checkpoint immunotherapy for patients with cancer, the current immunotherapies have demonstrated limited benefits for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Apart from the intricate microenvironments that restrict T-cell function, membrane proteins other than programmed death-ligand 1 may also facilitate immune escape of tumor cells. The present study investigated the membrane proteins of seven paired pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) and adjacent normal tissues with mass spectrometry, and identified 10 up-and eight downregulated membrane proteins in PAAD. Together with the online database analysis, the results showed that the CASK protein was upregulated in PAAD samples and cell lines, and predicts poor outcomes in patients with PAAD. Furthermore, the results exhibited downregulated CD36 and EPB42 in PAAD samples and cell lines, and higher levels of CD36. EPB42 was shown to predict improved survival outcomes in patients with PAAD. Overall, the results of the present study revealed PAAD-specific membrane proteins as potential diagnostic markers and drug-targets for the immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.
