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 mortality remains high due to late diagnosis and therapeutic resistance. The present study investigated acylglycerol kinase (AGK), which has been implicated in other tumors, in pancreatic cancer. Quantitative PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry analyses showed that AGK was markedly upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines and its expression associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, functional studies using AGK knockdown and overexpression models demonstrated that AGK promoted cancer cell proliferation by upregulating proliferation‑associated genes, such as
