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

Cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the first-line therapy for many advanced solid tumors; hence, understanding the underlying mechanisms to overcome chemoresistance remains a top research priority. In the clinic, chemotherapy is administered in multiple cycles that are spaced out to allow the recovery or repopulation of normal tissues and tissue stem cells between treatment cycles. However, residual surviving cancer cells and cancer stem cells can also repopulate tumors during the gap periods between chemotherapy cycles. Tumor repopulation is a phenomenon that has not been well studied; it is often overlooked due to current customized experimental study strategies. Recent findings reveal an alarming role for dying cells targeted by chemotherapy in releasing mitogens to stimulate active repopulation of quiescent cancer stem cells. Therefore, new therapeutic options to abrogate tumor repopulation will provide new avenues to improve chemotherapeutic response and clinical outcome.
