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

ObjectiveTo investigate the functions and immunological implication of formin-like protein 1 in pancreatic cancer.MethodsA multitude of public datasets and an in-house cohort were used to assess the clinical relevance and the immunological relevance of formin-like protein 1 in pancreatic cancer. Subsequently, in vitro assays were conducted to evaluate the biological roles of formin-like protein 1 in pancreatic cancer and its effects on immunity.ResultsThe expression of formin-like protein 1 was elevated in pancreatic cancer tissues and linked to a poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer. In vitro assays showed that elevated expression of formin-like protein 1 promoted pancreatic cancer progression. Moreover, formin-like protein 1 was linked to an inflamed tumor microenvironment and mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 expression in pancreatic cancer.ConclusionsFormin-like protein 1 is a biomarker of an inflamed tumor microenvironment and positively modulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 expression in pancreatic cancer, which could be utilized as a novel target for antitumor immunity for more in-depth studies.
