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

Improvements in the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) rely on the development of effective treatments to target advanced disease. Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is involved in the metastatic progression of PDAC and is a receptor-of-interest for targeted radionuclide therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of MUC1-based targeted radionuclide therapy for PDAC, by evaluating the expression profile of MUC1 in different pancreatic cells and tissues using the C595 antibody. MUC1 expression was evaluated in four PDAC cell lines (PANC-1, BxPC-3, CAPAN-1 and AsPC-1) using flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. Immunohistochemistry was performed on primary and metastatic PDAC, pancreatitis, pancreatic intra-epithelial neoplasia and normal pancreatic tissue samples to identify potential changes in C595-reactive MUC1 expression across different disease groups. C595-reactive MUC1 expression was found to varying degrees in the cell lines (11.5-93.1%). A pixel analysis of the immunohistochemical staining demonstrated highest MUC1 expression in primary PDAC tissue (mean pixel value of 205.4), followed by other pancreatic cancer types (204.9), pancreatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (203.8), metastatic PDAC (201.5), chronic pancreatitis (198.1) and normal pancreatic tissue (191.4). The increased expression in malignant tissues and reduced expression in benign tissues indicate that C595-reactive MUC1 is a potential target for targeted radionuclide therapy of PDAC.
