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

backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal cancer types with an extremely poor diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the relationships between PC and different gene classes.

methodsNumerous genes from different categories were selected from the UALCAN database. Expression and survival analysis of these genes were performed via GEPIA, starBase and Kaplan-Meier Plotter tools. The correlations between PC-related genes and frequently mutated genes in PC as well as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) infiltration levels were explored by TIMER tool. The associations between PC-related genes, immune checkpoints and 182 core cancer-intrinsic CTLs-evasion genes were analyzed by R software. Besides, KEGG analysis were performed for the PC-related genes.

results14 genes were identified to be highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and significantly associated with poor prognosis. Besides, high expression of these genes were observed in patients with KRAS or TP53 mutations. Most genes were significantly positively associated with immune checkpoint SIGLEC15, however, showed negative relations to PDCD1, CTLA4, LAG3, TIGIT, PDCD1LG2. In addition, all 14 genes exhibited close relationships with MDSC infiltration levels and various core cancer-intrinsic CTLs-evasion genes, especially DNTTIP1, FADD, ARF6, BCL2L1, CEP55, GALE, PDCD6IP, and RCE1. We also explored the most related pathways with these genes to further reveal the pathogenesis and metastatic mechanisms of PC.

conclusionOur study analyzed the relationships between 14 PC-related genes and pancreatic cancer from different angles, which may contribute to a better understanding of unsolved mystery in PC.
