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

Recent evidence demonstrates an essential role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in cancer initiation, progression, migration, metastasis as well as chemo-resistance. Nevertheless, identification of CSCs in different cancers has not been succeeded, since such CSCs are typically lack of a specific and unique marker. Therefore, the current strategy is basically using one or several markers to enrich CSCs, or to isolate CSC-like cells. Here, we showed that in clinically obtained colorectal carcinoma (CRC) specimens, Flt-1, the type 1 receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor A, was significantly upregulated. Moreover, more distal metastasis and poorer patient survival were detected in Flt-1
