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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the role of NADPH in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using bioinformatic analyses and experimental validations.

methodsWe compared the expression levels, performed GO and KEGG analysis of NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits, and determined the survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by GEPIA, David and KM plotter. The relationship between their expression with immune infiltration levels, phagocytotic/NK cell immune checkpoints, recruitment-related molecules were detected by Timer 2.0 and TISIDB, respectively. Subsequently, their correlation with NK cell infiltration level was verified by immunohistochemistry.

resultsThe expression of some members of the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits was significantly increased in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues compared to that in normal tissues and was positively correlated with natural killer (NK) cell infiltration. Furthermore, the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits were associated with survival and immune status in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, including chemokines, immune checkpoints, and immune infiltration levels of NK cells, monocytes, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

conclusionsThese results suggest the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits might serve as indicators for predicting the responsiveness to immunotherapy and outcome of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, providing a new perspective or strategy for immunotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
