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

Background: Yields for (likely) pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs) in pancreatic cancer (PCA) cases range from 5% to 10% in initial literature to 15% to 20% in recent literature. PGVs can impact therapy recommendations and cancer surveillance for individuals and families. Patients and methods: We retrospectively evaluated prospective cancer predisposition testing in 125 patients with exocrine PCA from a single-center clinical genetics clinic ( Results: PGVs were identified in 21.6% of patients ( Conclusions: These findings support ASCO and NCCN recommendations for germline testing in all PCA patients. We suggest offering large-panel genetic diagnostics early in clinical management, regardless of clinical parameters, with ongoing evaluation and adjustment of the gene panel.
