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

Though the genomic feature of pancreatic cancer has been comprehensively studied in western patients, the genetic feature of Chinese patients is poorly clarified. In this study, a total of 225 pancreatic cancer patients were enrolled, mainly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, 97.33%). 140 patients (62.22%) provided sufficient tumor tissues for genomic analysis, and the rest (37.78%) were provided serum instead. Utilizing target next-generation sequencing (NGS), we analyzed genomic alterations of 618 selected genes. Corresponding data in the TCGA database were also analyzed here. In total, 26 (11.61%) patients had pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants, mainly (84.62%) involved genes in the DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway. The mean and median counts of somatic alterations per sample were 6.28 and 5, respectively. The most frequently mutated genes in our cohort were
