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

This study investigates the role of ubiquitination-related genes in pancreatic cancer (PC) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and multi-omics approaches. scRNA-seq data (GSE155698) from PC samples identified 12 cell types, with endothelial cells exhibiting high ubiquitination scores (High_ubiquitin-Endo) and enriched interactions with fibroblasts/macrophages via WNT, NOTCH, and integrin pathways. Spatial transcriptomics (GSE235315) validated cell-type localization. Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis prioritized TRIM9 as a PC-protective gene, downregulated in tumors and correlated with better survival. WGCNA revealed TRIM9-co-expressed modules linked to prognosis. A machine learning-based prognostic model (CoxBoost+RSF) integrating seven genes (TSPAN6, TSC1, RNF167, PBXIP1, LRRC49, KATNAL2, IGF2BP2) stratified patients into high/low-risk groups with distinct survival, mutation burdens, and immune infiltration. TRIM9 overexpression suppressed PC cell proliferation/migration
