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 characterized by high malignancy, frequent metastasis, and recurrence with an unfavorable prognosis. This study is aimed at constructing a prognostic model for tumor-infiltrating immune cells and a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in PAAD and analyzing susceptibilities of chemotherapy and immunotherapy of PAAD. Gene expression profiles and clinical information of PAAD were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and divided into the tumor group and the normal group. A total of five PAAD survival-related key genes in the ceRNA network and three survival-related immune infiltrating cells were uncovered, and two survival risk models and nomograms were constructed. The efficiency and performance of the two models were verified using multi-index area under the curve analysis at different time points, decision curve analysis, and calibration curves. Co-expression analysis showed that LRRC1, MIR600HG, and RNF166 in the ceRNA network and tumor-infiltrating immune cells including CD8 T cells and M1 macrophages were likely related to the PAAD prognosis, and the expression of key ceRNA-related genes was experimently validated in tissues and cell lines by RT-qPCR. Patients with low risk scores for key genes in the ceRNA network displayed a positive response to anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) treatment and greater sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs such as docetaxel, lapatinib, and paclitaxel. More importantly, our results suggested that the IC50 values of gemcitabine in PAAD were not significantly different between the high and low risk groups. The expression levels of immune checkpoints were significantly different in the high-risk and low-risk groups. The prognostic model, nomogram, and drug analysis may provide an essential reference for PAAD patient management in the clinic.
