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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the world's most aggressive diseases and carries a poor prognosis for patients. Recent evidence suggests that HCC is organized by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are a subset of cells with stem cell-like features. CSCs are considered a pivotal target for the eradication of cancer, and liver CSCs have been investigated using various stem cell markers. Several hepatic stem/progenitor markers have been shown to be useful for isolating putative CSCs from HCC, although the expression patterns and phenotypic diversity of CSCs purified by these markers remain obscure. Recently, we found that liver CSCs defined by different markers show unique features of tumorigenicity and metastasis, with phenotypes closely associated with committed liver lineages. Furthermore, our data suggest that these distinct CSCs collaborate to orchestrate the tumorigenicity and metastasis of HCC. In this review article, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis and heterogeneity of liver CSCs.
