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 known as "the king of cancer," and ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes are key contributors to its development. Our study aimed to identify ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes associated with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients by the bioinformatics method and then construct a risk model. In this study, the gene expression profiles and clinical data of pancreatic cancer patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Genotype-tissue Expression (GTEx) database. Ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes were obtained from the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify differentially expressed ubiquitination-related genes selected from GSEA which were associated with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Using multivariate Cox regression analysis, we detected eight optimal ubiquitination-related genes (RNF7, NPEPPS, NCCRP1, BRCA1, TRIM37, RNF25, CDC27, and UBE2H) and then used them to construct a risk model to predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Finally, the eight risk genes were validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, the results showed that the protein expression level of the eight genes was generally consistent with those at the transcriptional level. Our findings suggest the risk model constructed from these eight ubiquitination-related genes can accurately and reliably predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. These eight genes have the potential to be further studied as new biomarkers or therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.
