Pancreatic Cancer is Associated with Peripheral Leukocyte Oxidative DNA Damage
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: DNA damage accumulation has been linked to the cancer phenotype. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of DNA base 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammatory markers in healthy controls and pancreatic cancer patients from a hospital-based case-control study. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five pancreatic cancer patients and 55 healthy controls were enrolled from a pool of patients referred to the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) center. Analysis of DNA content of peripheral blood cells was conducted for 8-OHdG with the 32P-postlabelling assay. Serum CRP levels were measured by high-sensitivity assays and demographic data for comparison were collected from individual medical records. Results: The group of cases showed significant increased median (IQR) 8-OHdG DNA adducts/106 nucleotides and CRP compared to the controls (208.8 (138.0-340.8) vs 121.8 (57.7-194.8) RAL value; P<0.001) and (3.5 (1.5-8.6) vs 0.5 (0.2-1.5) mg/L P<0.001). A number of conditional regression models confirmed associations of pancreatic cancer with oxidative DNA damage in peripheral leukocytes.Conclusions: Our findings suggest the importance of leukocyte 8-OHdG adducts as an indicator for systemic oxidative DNA damage in pancreatic cancer patients. In addition to increase in the CRP inflammatory marker, this supports the impact of inflammation in the occurrence of pancreatic cancer as well as inflammatory responses during cancer development.
