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.
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
backgroundStromal fibroblasts associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) play an important role in tumor progression through interactions with cancer cells. Our proposed combination strategies of in vitro and in silico biomarker screening through a cancer-stromal interaction model were previously identified several actin-binding proteins in human colon cancer stroma. The main aim of the present study was to identify novel prognostic markers in human PDAC stroma using our strategies.
methodsFive primary cultivated fibroblasts from human pancreas were stimulated by two types of pancreatic cancer-cell-conditioned medium (Capan-1 and MIA PaCa-2) followed by gene expression analysis to identify up-regulated genes. Publicly available microarray data set concomitant with overall survival was collected and prognostic marker candidates were selected among the genes that were found to be up-regulated. The mRNA expression levels of the selected genes were evaluated in 5 human fresh PDAC tissues. Finally, survival analysis was performed based on immunohistochemical results on tissue microarrays consisting of 216 surgically resected PDAC tissues.
resultsThe microarray data of the cancer-stromal interaction model revealed that 188 probes were significantly regulated in pancreatic fibroblasts. Further, six genes were selected using publicly available microarray data set, and a single Diaphanous-related formin-3 (DIAPH3), actin-binding protein, was identified as a stromal biomarker in PDAC fibroblasts by RNA validation analysis. DIAPH3 exhibited strong immunohistochemical expression in stromal fibroblasts. The high stromal expression of DIAPH3 was associated with shorter survival times of PDAC patients.
conclusionsDIAPH3 was identified as a prognostic marker in PDAC fibroblasts using our biomarker screening strategies through the cancer-stromal interaction model, indicating that stromal actin-binding proteins might have an important biological role in cancer progression. These strategies were also available in PDAC, and can be used for stromal biomarker screening in various cancers.
