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

backgroundHeat shock protein A2 (HSPA2) is known to relate to the pathogenesis and progress of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the connection between HSPA2 and early postsurgical relapse of pancreatic cancer (PC).

methodsExpression of HSPA2 in 85 pairs of cancerous and matched noncancerous samples was determined by immunostaining method. The relationship between HSPA2 expression and early postsurgical recurrence was assessed using logistic regression. The performance and potential application of HSPA2 expression to predict early postsurgical recurrence was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsHSPA2 expression in tumor specimens was markedly elevated compared with non-tumor specimens. Logistic regression analysis indicated that HSPA2 upregulation was an independent risk marker for early postsurgical recurrence of PC. ROC curve analysis and DCA demonstrated that both the area under the curve (AUC) and the net benefit of HSPA2 expression were higher than those of other clinicopathologic features in predicting early postsurgical relapse of PC. The combination of HSPA2 expression with other malignant clinicopathologic characteristics had greater AUC and net benefit relative to them alone in predicting early postsurgical recurrence.

conclusionsUpregulated HSPA2 independently predicts early postsurgical recurrence of PC and has superior predictive performance and potential application value when combined with malignant clinicopathologic features. Our findings reveal that HSPA2 is a promising predictor for early postoperative relapse of PC.
