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

Background: Nardilysin, (N-arginine dibasic convertase, NRDC) has been reported to play an important role in cancer progression, and is associated with tumor proliferation signals and inflammatory signals, such as tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), through the activation of disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) proteases. NRDC has recently been revealed to be involved in the tumorigenesis of various types of cancer, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, malignant cerebral infarction, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and gastric cancer. However, the expression profiles and biological relevance of NRDC in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have rarely been reported. Methods: We analyzed the NRDC expression profile in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and identified NRDC as a circulating biomarker in the serum of 112 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients. The diagnostic value of NRDC was analyzed by the area under the curve (AUC) and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) test. Results: Our results demonstrated that the clinical prognosis significance of NRDC with the clinical characteristics in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). NRDC was notably decreased in PDAC patient serum compared with the control group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the present study found that the NRDC expression level was correlated with T grade (p < 0.001), metastasis(p < 0.001), differentiation(p < 0.001), and TNM stage (p = 0.011). Further bioinformatics analysis revealed that NRDC correlated with proliferation and migration pathways; in particular, it mediated cell-matrix adhesion-dependent activation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Conclusions: Serum NRDC may play a useful diagnostic biomarker to evaluate the aggressive clinical features in PAAD patients.
