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

The present study detected p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) cell lines, in order to define the biological properties of p75NTR+ cells and to confirm the use of p75NTR+ as a surface marker for TSCC stem cells. p75NTR+ cells were separated from Tca‑8113 and CAL‑27 TSCC cells by fluorescence‑activated cell sorting. Colony formation, MTT and scratch assays, and a tumorigenicity analysis were performed to measure self-renewal and proliferation, multidirectional differentiation, and tumorigenicity of p75NTR+ cells. p75NTR+ cells comprised 3.1 and 1.9% of Tca‑8113 and CAL‑27 cells (mean of three experiments), respectively, and were more able to form colonies compared with non‑sorted cells (P<0.01). In addition, the proportion of p75NTR+ cells generated from monoclonal p75NTR+ cells decreased to 14.5 (Tca‑8113) and 5.8% (CAL‑27) of cells within 2 weeks, thus suggesting that p75NTR+ cells are able to generate p75NTR+ and p75NTR‑ cells. Furthermore, p75NTR+ cells exhibited increased proliferation, as evidenced by MTT assay (P<0.01) and had greater metastatic ability according to the scratch assay (P<0.01), compared with non‑sorted cells. p75NTR+ cells also exhibited a greater tumorigenic capacity compared with non‑sorted cells. In conclusion, p75NTR+ cells isolated from TSCC cell lines possess the characteristics of cancer stem cells; therefore, p75NTR may be considered a useful surface marker for the identification of TSCC stem cells.
