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; also known as tumor-initiating cells) are essential effectors of tumor progression due to their self-renewal capacity, differentiation potential, tumorigenic ability and resistance to chemotherapy, all of which contribute to cancer relapse, metastasis and a poor prognosis. Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) have been identified to be involved in the processes of BC initiation, growth and recurrence. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs of 19-23 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through various mechanisms, and serve critical roles in cancer progression. miRNAs have been demonstrated to elicit effects on BCSCs characteristics via the targeting of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. The present study focused on the effect of miRNAs on BCSC, including BCSC formation, self-renewal and differentiation, by which miRNAs may inhibit BCSC invasion and metastasis, modulate clonogenicity and tumorigenicity of BCSCs as well as regulate chemotherapy resistance to BC. Through an improved understanding of the association between BCSCs and miRNAs, a novel and safer therapeutic target for BC may be identified.
