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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with poor survival outcomes. Genomic analyses have identified distinct molecular subtypes in human PDAC with the quasimesenchymal/squamous/basal-like (QSB) subtype having the worst prognosis. However, no in vivo models exist for QSB subtypes. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) transcription factor TWIST1 is upregulated in QSB PDAC. Here we hypothesized that TWIST1-dependent plasticity is a key regulator of QSB PDAC subtype development. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) of human PDAC subtypes identified three NMF clusters. NMF1 was dominated by QSB subtypes, had the worst survival and exhibited high TWIST1 expression. We generated a novel tetracycline-inducible autochthonous pancreas-specific Kras
