Circulating tumor cell and oncosome subtypes in portal and peripheral venous circulations may be used for diagnosis and prognostication of pancreatic cancer.

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
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains one of the most devastating cancers, with limited options for early diagnosis and outcome prediction. To address these gaps, we prospectively characterized circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and oncosomes from both the peripheral (PB) and portal vein (PoVB). A total of 121 blood samples from 39 patients (75 PB, 46 PoVB) undergoing endoscopic ultrasound were profiled using multiplex immunofluorescence and computational algorithms for rare event detection. Rare event counts were significantly elevated in pancreatic cancer patients compared to normal donors (p = 4.71e-10). PoVB yielded greater numbers of epithelial and mesenchymal CTCs compared to PB, suggesting restricted systemic entry, while oncosomes were consistently detected in both compartments. Diagnostic accuracy was highest for PB oncosomes and PoVB CTCs. Importantly, PoVB mesenchymal CTCs correlated with 1-year survival (p = 0.0083), and PB oncosomes predicted poor survival (p = 0.0014). These findings highlight complementary diagnostic and prognostic value of PB oncosomes and PoVB CTCs in pancreatic cancer.
