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

It is now believed that most epithelial tumors are maintained by a subpopulation of cells called cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor initiating cells (TICs) with stem cell-like properties, including self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacity. Recently new insights into this population have emerged in certain epithelial tumor types, including their Claudin(low) phenotype and its importance to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Taken together, CSCs, EMT and Claudins appear to constitute an axis-of-evil in cancer, for which better understanding may lead to new therapeutic platforms.
