DNA methylation profile to aid in the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its role in disease progression.
Review in Epigenomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
There is no immunohistochemical or molecular marker to confirm the histologic diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This is particularly important in a scenario of unknown primary. Molecularly, PDAC is characterized by a limited set of driver mutations, and new predictive and prognostic markers are needed to guide novel therapies. Recent data show that DNA methylation profiles combined with complex machine learning algorithms are ideal tools to improve the diagnosis of PDAC. In addition, DNA methylation can be used to gain a deeper understanding of PDAC pathogenesis and further stratify this entity. Furthermore, exciting technologies have emerged, such as nanopore sequencing, which can be used to move these diagnostic tools from the postoperative to the intraoperative setting, or even as a liquid biopsy approach.
