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

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging malignancies to diagnose and treat due to the late development of symptoms and limited early diagnostic options. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are noninvasive precursors to invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and an understanding of the changes in patterns of protein expression that accompany the progression from normal ductal (ND) cells to IPMN and PDAC may provide avenues for improved earlier detection. In this study, we present an optimized spatial tissue proteomics workflow, termed SP-Max (Spatial Proteomics Optimized for Maximum Sensitivity and Reproducibility in Minimal Sample), designed to maximize protein recovery and quantification from limited laser microdissected (LMD) samples. Our workflow enabled the identification of more than 6000 proteins and the quantification of over 5200 protein groups from FFPE tissue contours of pancreatic tissues. Comparative analyses across ND, IPMN, and PDAC revealed critical molecular differences in protein pathways and potential markers of progression. SP-Max provides a systematic, reproducible approach that markedly enhances our ability to study precancerous lesions and cancer progression in pancreatic tissues at high resolution.
