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

backgroundAlternative splicing (AS) is reported to be related to the biological process of multiple malignancies. This study is conducted to identify survival-associated AS events and prognostic signatures that may serve as prognostic indicators for pancreatic cancer (PC).

methodsUnivariate Cox analysis was used to determine the survival-associated AS events in PC. Prognostic signatures were constructed by LASSO Cox analysis based on seven types of survival-associated AS events. The correlation between the expression of splicing factors (SFs) and the percent spliced in values of AS events was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Risk scores were calculated to determine high- or low-risk patients with different types of AS events. Gene functional annotation analysis was performed to reveal pathways in which prognostic AS is enriched.

resultsA total of 45,313 AS events in 10,624 genes were observed, and there were 1,565 AS events in 1,223 genes significantly correlated with overall survival for PC. Kaplan-Meier analysis, receiver-operator characteristic curve, univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that AS prognostic signatures could effectively predict prognosis of patients with PC. Splicing factors-AS regulatory networks were established to demonstrate the interaction between AS events and SFs.

conclusionThe survival-associated AS events and prognostic signatures identified in this study can serve as useful tool for predicting prognosis of patients with PC. Moreover, the SF-AS regulatory networks may provide clues for the mechanisms underlying AS in PC.
