Chinese expert consensus on precision testing and molecular diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (2025).
Article in British journal of cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This consensus by the CSCO Pancreatic Cancer Expert Committee establishes evidence-based guidelines for molecular testing in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It details recommendations for biomarkers (e.g., KRAS, BRCA, MSI), liquid biopsy, and precision imaging to direct targeted therapies and immunotherapy, aiming to standardize diagnosis and optimize individualized patient care. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common pathological type of primary pancreatic malignancy, accounting for ~95% of cases and generally referred to as pancreatic cancer [1]. Its prognosis is extremely poor and its incidence continues to rise [2]. According to the most recent global cancer statistics, the incidence of pancreatic cancer ranks 12th among all cancers, and its mortality ranks 6th, making it one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide [3]. Approximately 57% of patients have metastatic disease at diagnosis and require systemic therapy, for which chemotherapy remains the standard first-line option [1]. However, the overall response rate to currently available systemic regimens is low, and the 5-year survival rate for patients with metastatic disease remains below 5% [3]. Although most pancreatic cancers harbor canonical driver mutations, they exhibit marked heterogeneity at the molecular level. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and integrative genomic analyses have identified molecular subtypes of PDAC with potential clinical relevance [4-9]. With the increasing implementation of precision oncology, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer give a level 1 recommendation to perform genetic and other molecular testing on tissue or cytologic specimens as part of the pathological diagnostic work-up, in order to guide individualized treatment, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy [10]. To further promote the use of genetic and molecular testing in the precision treatment of pancreatic cancer, the CSCO Pancreatic Cancer Expert Committee convened a multidisciplinary panel to develop the present Chinese Expert Consensus on Precision Testing and Molecular Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer (2025), aiming to provide clinicians with an authoritative reference for precision diagnostics and treatment decision-making.
