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

Serum p53 antibody (s-p53-Ab) levels increase in patients with various cancer types; however, their clinicopathological relevance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is not well defined. The present study aimed to assess the prognostic value of s-p53-Ab status in PDAC. The present retrospective study included 124 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC between January 2012 and December 2023. Patients were categorized into s-p53-Ab(+) and s-p53-Ab(-) groups using a cutoff value of 1.3 U/ml. Prognostic significance was examined using univariate and multivariate analyses. A total of 25 patients (20%) were s-p53-Ab-positive. The isolated s-p53-Ab positivity rates in stage I and II disease were 10 and 8%, respectively. The s-p53-Ab(+) group exhibited significantly worse overall survival (P=0.038) and relapse-free survival (P=0.037) than the s-p53-Ab(-) group. Multivariate analysis revealed that s-p53-Ab(+) independently predicted poorer relapse-free survival (P=0.044) and overall survival (P=0.048). s-p53-Ab was occasionally positive in stage I/II PDAC and was associated with more aggressive disease behavior. The present study was registered as a clinical trial in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (registration number, UMIN000014530; date of registration, 2011/07/11).
