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

Tumor microenvironment comprises of a variety of cell types, which is quite complex and involved in chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockage resistance. In order to explore the mechanisms involved in tumor immune microenvironment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), we first constructed an immunity-related 18-gene signature using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) PDAC project data. Then we applied the 18-gene signature to divide PDAC patients into low score and high score groups. Patients in high score group showed inferior prognosis, which was validated in another four independent cohorts, including Ruijin cohort. High score group showed significant enrichment of pathways involved in cell division and cell cycle especially in G1/S phase transition. In high score group, IHC analysis revealed higher levels of the proliferative indexes of Ki67 and PCNA than that in low score group. Prognostic analysis confirmed that patients in high score group could benefit from the gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy. In low score group, the programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1) (+) cases showed worse prognosis but higher T cell infiltration than PD-L1(-) cases. Our immunity-related 18-gene signature could effectively predict PDAC prognosis, and it might be a practical predictive tool to identify PDAC subtype benefitting from gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy or potentially responding to PD1/PD-L1 blockade therapy.
