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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a minute sub-population of self-renewing, immortal cells, which can be responsible for chemoresistance observed in the treatment of cancer. CSCs are similar to cancer cells requiring telomerase activity or alternative mechanisms for their proliferation and regeneration. This study explored the correlation between CD133 (stem cell marker) and telomerase expression using CD133+ cells isolated from the glioma GOS-3 cell line with magnetic affinity cell sorting (MACS). GOS-3 CD133+ showed a transcription downregulation of hTERT ( approximately 100-fold decrease) compared with CD133- cells. In order to further substantiate the novel finding, serum deprivation was adopted to enrich CD133 expression in GOS-3 cells. A pronounced upregulation of cd133 and downregulation of telomerase expression were produced as a consequence of decreasing serum supplement levels in GOS-3 cells. These findings showed for the first time that telomerase is downregulated in brain cancer stem cells compared to cancer cells.
