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

Non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD), marked by ectopic triglyceride accumulation in the exocrine pancreas, is increasingly observed yet its recognition as a cancer-predisposing condition remains limited. We synthesize evidence supporting NAFPD as an early and modifiable niche for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), using a PRISMA-ScR-guided framework. The findings were synthesized into three domains: epidemiological risk, metabolic-inflammatory signaling, and immune-stromal remodeling. Mechanisms include palmitate-induced ER stress, ROS-driven NLRP3-IL-1β and STAT5 signaling, and KRAS^G12D-mediated lipotoxicity. Lipid-laden stellate cells promote fibrosis, immunosuppression, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. NAFPD may represent an early, modifiable PDAC niche, warranting further imaging-omic studies and targeted prevention trials.
