Selective enrichment of CD133
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Most of the brain tumors are malignant with an extremely poor survival rate. Recent progress in identifying cancer stem cells (CSCs) within the brain tumors is starting to revolutionize our understanding in the imitation and progression of tumors as well as relapse and the development of therapeutic strategies. Suspension spheroid body culture paradigm is a routine method in enriching CSCs. While, it was reported recently that CSCs within the brain tumor may also be enriched through adherent monolayer culture with optimized properties. In the present study, 18 surgically resected brain tumors were used for analyzing the feasibility of adherent enrichment of CSCs. The results indicated that 50% of glioblastomas were able to generate adherent CSCs, which were uniformly positive for Sox2, CD133, GFAP and Nestin. However, adherent culture paradigm failed to yield CSCs in secondary brain tumors, including neurocytomas, ependymomas, germ cell tumors or low-grade astrocytomas, which is most likely due to a lack of CD133
