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

Mitophagy is a conserved cellular process that plays a vital role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by selectively removing dysfunctional mitochondria. Notwithstanding that growing evidence suggests that mitophagy is implicated in pancreatic tumorigenesis, the effect of mitophagy-related genes on pancreatic cancer (PC) prognosis and therapeutic response remains largely unknown. In this study, we sought to construct a mitophagy-related gene signature and assessed its ability to predict the survival, immune activity, mutation status, and chemotherapy response of PC patients. During the screening process, we identified three mitophagy-related genes (PRKN, SRC, VDAC1) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort and a 3-gene signature was established. The prognostic model was validated using an International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) cohort and two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohorts. According to the median risk score, PC patients were divided into high and low-risk groups, and the high-risk group correlated with worse survival in the four cohorts. The risk score was then identified as an independent prognostic predictor, and a predictive nomogram was constructed to guide clinical decision-making. Remarkably, enhanced immunosuppressive levels and higher mutation rates were observed in patients from the high-risk group, which may account for their poor survival. Furthermore, we found that high-risk patients were more sensitive to paclitaxel and erlotinib. In conclusion, a mitophagy-related gene signature is a novel prognostic model that can be used as a predictive indicator and allows prognostic stratification of PC patients.
