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

introductionDespite the various therapeutic combinations and the emergence of new targeted therapies, there is still no curative treatment for all stages of colorectal cancer. Through the query for the best possible combination and solution, a new theory approaching colorectal cancer as a stem cell disease appeared, with a continuously growing body of evidence supporting this idea. The inability to directly recognize cancer stem cells has led researchers to an attempt of distinguishing those using indirect markers. DISCUSSION: This review focuses on colon cancer stem cell theory, the various findings supporting and contradicting this hypothesis, and the markers used up to now in characterizing stem cell populations in colorectal cancer. Despite the numerous unanswered questions on this new cancer hypothesis, it appears to have a justifiable role to play in colorectal cancer tumor biology, and furthermore, it may be the basis for the development of new therapeutic agents of the future. Therefore, every surgeon, oncologist, and physician who is implicated with this disease should be familiar with this novel colorectal cancer theory.
