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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer deeply affecting human health. Diagnosing early-stage PDAC is the key point to PDAC patients' survival. However, the biomarkers for diagnosing early PDAC are inexact in most cases. Therefore, it is highly desirable to identify an effective PDAC diagnostic biomarker. In the current work, we designed a novel computational approach based on within-sample relative expression orderings (REOs). A feature selection technique called minimum redundancy maximum relevance was used to pick out optimal REOs. We then compared the performances of different classification algorithms for discriminating PDAC and its adjacent normal tissues from non-PDAC tissues. The support vector machine algorithm is the best one for identifying early PDAC diagnostic biomarker. At first, a signature composed of nine gene pairs was acquired from microarray gene expression data sets. These gene pairs could produce satisfactory classification accuracy up to 97.53% in fivefold cross-validation. Subsequently, two types of data from diverse platforms, namely, microarray and RNA-Seq, were used to validate this signature. For microarray data, all (100.00%) of 115 PDAC tissues and all (100.00%) of 31 PDAC adjacent normal tissues were correctly recognized as PDAC. In addition, 88.24% of 17 non-PDAC (normal or pancreatitis) tissues were correctly classified. For the RNA-Seq data, all (100.00%) of 177 PDAC tissues and all (100.00%) of 4 PDAC adjacent normal tissues were correctly recognized as PDAC. Validation results demonstrated that the signature had a good cross-platform effect for early detection of PDAC. This work developed a new robust signature that might be a promising biomarker for early PDAC diagnosis.
