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

backgroundIntratumoral oxidative stress (OS) has been associated with the progression of various tumors. However, OS has not been considered a candidate therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer (PC) owing to the lack of validated biomarkers.

methodsWe compared gene expression profiles of PC samples and the transcriptome data of normal pancreas tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genome Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases to identify differentially expressed OS genes in PC. PC patients' gene profile from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used as a validation cohort.

resultsA total of 148 differentially expressed OS-related genes in PC were used to construct a protein-protein interaction network. Univariate Cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage, selection operator analysis revealed seven hub prognosis-associated OS genes that served to construct a prognostic risk model. Based on integrated bioinformatics analyses, our prognostic model, whose diagnostic accuracy was validated in both cohorts, reliably predicted the overall survival of patients with PC and cancer progression. Further analysis revealed significant associations between seven hub gene expression levels and patient outcomes, which were validated at the protein level using the Human Protein Atlas database. A nomogram based on the expression of these seven hub genes exhibited prognostic value in PC.

conclusionOur study provides novel insights into PC pathogenesis and provides new genetic markers for prognosis prediction and clinical treatment personalization for PC patients.
