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

The ability to retain DNA labels over time is a property proposed to be associated with adult stem cells. Recently, label retaining cells (LRC) were indentified in cancer. LRC were suggested to be the result of either slow-cycling or asymmetric-cell-division with nonrandom-chromosomal-cosegregation (ACD-NRCC). ACD-NRCC is proposed to segregate the older template DNA strands into daughter stem cells and newly synthesized DNA into daughter cells destined for differentiation. The existence of cells undergoing ACD-NRCC and the stem-like nature of LRC remain controversial. Currently, to detect LRC and ACD-NRCC, cells need to undergo fixation. Therefore, testing the stem-cell nature and other functional traits of LRC and cells undergoing ACD-NRCC has been limited. Here, we show a method for labeling DNA with single and dual-color nucleotides in live human liver cancer cells avoiding the need for fixation. We describe a novel methodology for both the isolation of live LRC and cells undergoing ACD-NRCC via fluorescence-activated cell sorting with confocal microscopy validation. This has the potential to be a powerful adjunct to stem-cell and cancer research.
