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 is one of the most lethal and challenging malignancies. Its severity is primarily linked to the constitutively activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Aquaporins (AQPs) are frequently overexpressed in pancreatic cancer, playing crucial roles in cell signaling, and consequently promoting cell migration, proliferation, and invasion. Here, we investigate the transcriptomics of key players in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer tissues, correlating them with tumor AQP expression to highlight their potential as diagnostic or prognostic tools. The transcriptomics analysis was conducted in 24 paired pancreatic tumors and adjacent healthy tissues, and analyses were performed considering the patients' age and gender, as well as tumor invasiveness and aggressiveness. Our results revealed strong positive Pearson correlation coefficients between
