The Stem Cell Network model: clinical implications in cancer.
Review in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This review will discuss the aspects of stem cell biology that can contribute to explain tumor development and why standard oncology treatments sometimes fail. We also propose an integrated model of tumor progression based on the putative occurrence of Stem Cell Networks (SCNs). In a SCN, the somatic stem cells are derived from a common embryonic stem cell, share a specific molecular profile and maintain a high degree of cell-cycle synchronization. In the study of cancer, the SCN model introduces an additional conceptual frame to the interpretation of both the cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis and the field cancerization concept. The CSC model may explain how the cancer fields develop, justifies their sizes and shapes, contribute to explain the local recurrences in patients with free margins, the second primary tumors, the success of organ preserving surgical approaches or the trend of different tumors to metastasize to certain locations. We propose that the SCN model of cancer provides some clues for further understanding tumor progression and raises promising experimental and clinical implications.
