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 adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is the most malignant digestive tumor. The global incidence of pancreatic cancer has been rapidly trending upwards, necessitating an exploration of potential prognostic biomarkers and mechanisms of disease development. One of the most prevalent RNA modifications is 5-methylcytosine (m5C); however, its contribution to PAAD remains unclear. Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, including genes, copy number variations (CNVs), and simple nucleotide variations (SNVs), were obtained in the present study to identify gene signatures and prognostic values for m5C regulators in PAAD. Regulatory gene m5C changes were significantly correlated with TP53, BRCA1, CDKN2A, and ATM genes, which play important roles in PAAD pathogenesis. In particular, there was a significant relationship between m5C regulatory gene CNVs, especially in genes encoding epigenetic "writers". According to m5C-regulated gene expression in clinically graded cases, one m5C-regulated genes, DNMT3A, showed both a strong effect on CNVs and a significant correlation between expression level and clinical grade (P < 0.05). Furthermore, low DNMT3A expression was not only associated with poor PAAD patient prognosis but also with the ribosomal processing. The relationship between low DNMT3A expression and poor prognosis was confirmed in an International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) validation dataset.
