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) are believed as the initiators of the occurrence, development and recurrence of malignant tumors. Targeting this unique cell population would provide a less toxic approach than regular chemotherapeutic agents that kill bulk rapid proliferating tumor cells and also normal cells which divide rapidly. To date, major research effort has been aimed at identifying and eradicating CSC population. The metabolism heterogeneity of mitochondria in CSCs shows a big promise for cancer research. Of them, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), reflecting the functional status of the mitochondrion is proved to be highly related to cancer malignancy. Reactive oxygen species, mainly produced from mitochondria, are also increased in many types of cancer cells. However, their statuses in CSCs remain poorly understood. Here we shall review the mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species of CSCs and propose the novel potential targets for cancer therapy.
