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 cancer (PC) is a fatal disease with an extremely low 5-year survival rate, mainly because of its poor detection rate in early stages. Given emerging evidence of the relationship between microbiota composition and diseases, this study aims to identify microbiome markers linked to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. We utilized extracellular vesicles (EVs) data obtained from blood samples of 38 pancreatic cancer patients and 51 health controls. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and stepwise method were used to obtain some candidate markers in genus and phylum levels. These markers were used to develop various machine learning models including logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and Deep Neural Network (DNN) methods. In phylum level, DNN performed best with three markers (Verrucomicrobia, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria) selected by stepwise method with the test AUC 0.959. In genus level, DNN using 11 markers selected by LASSO (Ruminococcaceae UCG-013, Ruminiclostridium, Propionibacterium, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, Corynebacterium.1, Akkermansia, Mucispirillum, Pseudomonas, Diaphorobacter, Clostridium sensu stricto 1 and Turicibacter) outperformed others with 0.961 test AUCs. These results highlight the potential of microbiome markers and prediction models in clinical studies of PC diagnosis.
