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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with cachexia-related muscle wasting as the main manifestation is associated with poor overall survival. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of inter-organ communication. Here, EVs and EV-microRNAs (miRNAs) are identified as mediate PDAC-skeletal muscle communication. EVs are isolated from PDAC patients, mouse models, patients-derived organoids, and mouse pancreatic cancer cells. Plasma-derived EVs from PDAC patients or mice are observed to remarkably induced muscle wasting in vitro and in vivo. Depletion of miRNA cargo in these EVs significantly alleviates their detrimental effects on skeletal muscles. Deep RNA sequencing is conducted to profile differentially expressed miRNAs in plasma EVs from patients with or without PDAC. The findings reveal that the expression of miR-223-5p expression in PDAC patients' plasma EVs is negatively associated with the 3-year overall survival. Mechanistic studies show that miR-223-5p contributes to reduced METTL14 transcription by targeting MAFA, associated with decreased m
