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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have the abilities of tumor-initiating, self-renewal and differentiation, are thought to cause post-therapeutic recurrence and the progression of cancer. However, CSCs are commonly resistant to current cancer therapies including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, we isolated cancer stem celllike side population (SP) cells from human bladder cancer cell line SW780 by a flow cytometry-based SP technique. SP cells were only about 3.6% of SW780 cells and showed higher expression of ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2) and CD133. In vitro assay of tumor sphere growth as well as in vivo assay of xenograft transplantation confirmed the higher tumorigenicity of isolated SP cells. These data indicated that SP cells were enriched with CSCs of bladder cancer. Furthermore, we determined the expression of melanoma antigen family A, 3 (MAGEA3), one of the most studied cancer testis (CT) antigens, in these SP and main population (MP) cells derived from SW780 cells. SW780 SP cells representing CSCs of bladder cancer showed an up-regulated expression of MAGE-A3 and a positive coexpression of MAGE-A3 and CD133, indicating that MAGE-A3 was a novel CT antigen preferentially expressed in the CSCs of bladder cancer. In summary, our findings confirmed the existence of cancer stem cell-like SP cells in bladder cancer cells, and further indicated that MAGE-A3 is a novel CSC antigen and therefore may serve as an immunotherapeutic target for CSCs of bladder cancer.
