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 recent years, a small number of cells that have stem cell properties were identified in human gliomas called brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs), which were thought to mainly contribute to the initiation and development of gliomas and could be identified by the surface marker CD133. However, recent studies indicated that the expression of CD133 might be regulated by environmental conditions such as hypoxia and that there might be CD133(-) BTSCs. Genetic mouse models demonstrated that some gliomas originated from transformed neural stem cells (NSCs). Therefore, we investigated the expression of CD15, a surface marker for NSCs, in tumor spheres derived from astrocytoma and ependymoma. CD15(+) cells isolated from these tumor spheres had properties of BTSCs including self-renewal, multidifferentiation, and the ability to recapitulate the phenocopy of primary tumors. CD15 exhibited stable expression in long-term cultured tumor spheres, which sustained BTSCs properties, whereas CD133 expression decreased significantly in late passages. Furthermore, CD15(+)CD133(-) cells isolated from early or late passages of tumor spheres showed similar characteristics of BTSCs. Examination of glioma samples by immunohistochemistry showed that CD15 was expressed in a subset of human brain tumors. Therefore, CD15 can be used as a marker of stem-like cells derived from brain tumors that might contain CD133(-) BTSCs.
