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

Failure of cancer treatment caused by drug resistance and metastasis is mainly due to existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Therefore, targeting CSCs to overcome cancers is a challenging issue in clinic. In this report, in view of the important role of survivin in tumor growth and CSCs maintaining, we aimed to confirm that FL118, as a novel survivin inhibitor, may effectively inhibit lung cancer stem cells. We showed that lung cancer stem cells have the obviously higher expression of survivin than their parental cells. After treated with FL118, the survivin level in CSCs was suppressed. Consistently, lung cancer stem cells displayed significantly growth inhibition over time. Here, we compared the antitumor efficacy between FL118 and cisplatin. The data revealed that CSCs are more sensitive to FL118 than cisplatin. To further demonstrate the inhibitory effect of FL118 on CSCs, we found that FL118 down-regulated the expression of CSCs markers (ABCG2, ALDH1A1, Oct4) and drug resistant proteins (P-gp, ERCC1), suggesting that FL118 may change CSCs phenotype and improve drug-sensitivity of tumor cells. Moreover, FL118 effectively decreased the invasive ability of CSCs. These findings expand the uniqueness of FL118 as an attractive therapeutic option for cancers with drug-resistant or metastatic potential.
