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: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) ranks among the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Current treatment options have limited efficacy, underscoring the need for new therapeutic targets. Methods: This study employed a multi-omics analytical framework to delve into the expression profiles and prognostic implications of ADGRG6 within the pan-cancer dataset of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, highlighting the prognostic value and potential carcinogenic role of ADGRG6 in PAAD, which was further validated using data from multiple PAAD cohorts in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. To assess the role of ADGRG6 in the tumor microenvironment of PAAD, we evaluated immune infiltration using CIBERSORT, ssGSEA, xCell and Tracking Tumor Immunophenotype (TIP), and utilized single-cell sequencing data to explore cell-cell interactions. Further cellular and animal experiments, such as colony formation assay, transwell assay, western blot, real-time PCR, and tumor xenograft experiments, were used to investigate the effect of ADGRG6 on the proliferation, metastatic potential and immune marker expression of PAAD and the underlying mechanisms. Results: ADGRG6 emerged as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for PAAD, which was further corroborated by data extracted from multiple PAAD cohorts archived in the GEO database. Single-cell sequencing and immune infiltration analyses predicted the positive correlation of ADGRG6 with the infiltration of immune cells and with the interaction between malignant cells and fibroblasts/macrophages within the PAAD microenvironment. Conclusions: ADGRG6 may serve as a novel prognostic marker and a therapeutic targets for PAAD, playing a crucial role in the proliferation, metastasis, and immune marker regulation of PAAD through elevating protein level of mutated p53.
