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

Breast cancer is marked as one of the leading causes of malignancy-related morbidities worldwide. In spite of aggressive interventions, the inevitability of relapse and metastasis severely impede survival rates. Mounting evidence highlight the insidious role of cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small but significant subpopulation of undifferentiated cells that drive tumour progression, spread and resistance to conventional therapy. The nature and significance of breast CSCs remains poorly understood, and even disputed by many researchers. This review discusses the origins, biomarkers, signalling pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and targeted therapy of breast CSCs.
