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 one of the deadliest malignancies, with poor prognosis resulting mostly from late diagnosis. Surgery remains the most effective treatment and early detection significantly increases the overall survival. Biomarkers used for diagnosis and to monitor the response to treatment, such as carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), are not adequate as early detection markers of PDAC, partly due to low sensitivity/specificity. Therefore, new biomarkers for PDAC are critically needed. This review aims at recent advancements in the identification and characterization of new biomarkers, microRNAs, which might prove useful in the early detection of PDAC.
