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

The finding that hypoxia can induce cancer stemness in various experimental models is in agreement with the conceptual basis of cancer cell plasticity. Here, we aimed to gain insights into the molecular basis of hypoxia-induced cancer cell plasticity in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). To achieve this goal, we employed our previously published in-vitro model of TNBC, in which a small subset of stem-like cells can be distinguished from the bulk cell population based on their responsiveness to a Sox2 reporter. In MDA-MB-231, a TNBC cell line, we observed that hypoxia significantly increased the expression of luciferase and green fluorescence protein (GFP), the readouts of the Sox2 reporter. Upon hypoxic challenge, the bulk, reporter unresponsive (RU) cells acquired stem-like features, as evidenced by the significant increases in the proportion of CD44
