The role of cancer stem cells in the modulation of anti-tumor immune responses.
Review in Seminars in cancer biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 63 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
Tumor lesions comprise multiple subpopulations of cells including those endowed with "stemness" properties. The latter cells are responsible of tumor initiation, metastasis formation, resistance to conventional therapies and disease recurrence. These relatively rare cells denominated cancer stem cells (CSCs) or cancer initiating cells (CICs) are defined based on self-renewing, multipotency and tumorigenicity. These cells through their immunomodulating features can evade from immunesurveillance, persisting in the form of quiescence and dormancy. They can drive the neoplastic growth and recurrence, even after long latency. Moreover, CSCs/CICs due to their ability to modulate and shape immune responses can represent the component of a tumor causing immunotherapy resistance in cancer patients. In this review a general overview of immunological properties of CSCs/CICs is provided, with a special focus on the mechanisms of modulation of T cell mediated responses. The need to further dissect the mechanisms regulating the immunological profile of CSCs/CICs and their interactions with immune cells and tumor microenvironment is discussed. An improved characterization of the immunological properties of CSCs/CICs will contribute to the rationale design of immunotherapeutic interventions which target these cells and may lead to the eradication of malignant diseases.
