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 a digestive tumor with extremely high malignancy. Previous studies have reported that Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) contributes to the aggressive tumor progression in various cancer types and indicates an unfavorable prognosis. However, the function of GLUT1 in PAAD remains largely unclear. Through pan-cancer analysis of GLUT1 expression, GLUT1 expression was significantly higher in several cancer types including PAAD. Survival analysis based on the GLUT1 expression showed that GLUT1 could serve as a predictor of poor prognosis. We further predicted and screened the candidate non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) upstream of the GLUT1 mRNA through correlation analysis, and found that the CASC19/miR-140-5p axis contributing to the regulation of GLUT1 expression. Our study suggested a link exists between GLUT1 expression and selected immunity-related indicators. Subsequent analysis revealed overexpression of GLUT1 in pancreatic cancer specimens and patients with highly expressed GLUT1 expression had worse prognosis. Based on the significantly different expression of GLUT1, the possibility that GLUT1 participated in tumor progression was identified. Using online public databases, genes co-expressed with GLUT1 were screened and enriched to metastasis-related pathways by enrichment analysis. Additionally, functional assays verified that GLUT1 could function in the metastatic process of PAAD cancer cells. Therefore, we proposed that GLUT1 might serve as a role in tumor immunity and tumor metastasis, and was expected to be a prognostic factor in PAAD.
