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

In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), in-situ coagulation creates a thrombotic, crosslinked fibrin (x-fibrin)-rich tumor stroma (FibTS), whose impact on immune cell behavior remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate how FibTS in PDAC regulates immune cell infiltration, polarization, and crosstalk that favors immunosuppressive microenvironment and tumor growth. We assessed the spatial distribution of immune cells by multiplex immunostaining of human PDAC tissues, along with novel bioengineering and mouse tumor models. We investigated how FibTS influences the infiltration of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) and T-cell subtypes and identified two distinct variants of PDAC, fibrin-high (Fib
