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

Immunotherapy for pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) remains disappointing due to the repressive tumor microenvironment and T cell exhaustion, in which the roles of interferon-stimulated genes were largely unknown. Here, we focused on a typical interferon-stimulated gene, GBP4, and investigated its potential diagnostic and therapeutic value in pancreatic cancer. Expression analysis on both local samples and public databases indicated that GBP4 was one of the most dominant GBP family members present in the PDAC microenvironment, and the expression level of GBP4 was negatively associated with patient survival. We then identified DNA hypo-methylation in regulatory regions of GBP4 in PDAC, and validated its regulatory role on GBP4 expression via performing targeted methylation using dCas9-SunTag-DNMAT3A-sgRNA-targeted methylation system on selected DNA locus. After that, we investigated the downstream functions of GBP4, and chemotaxis assays indicated that GBP4 overexpression significantly improved the infiltration of CD8
