Cancer stem cell theory: Are we moving past the mist?
Review in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (CSC) are a subpopulation of tumor cells that have superior capacities of self-renewal, metastatic dissemination, and chemoresistance. These characteristics resemble, to some extent, the outcome of certain biological processes, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy, and cellular stress response. Indeed, it has been shown that the stimuli that induce these processes and CSC are overlapping, and CSC and tumor cells that underwent EMT or autophagy are much alike. However, as the cross talk between CSC, EMT, autophagy, and cellular stress is further explored, these processes are also found to have an opposing role in CSC, depending on the condition and status of cells. This contextual effect is likely due to overwhelming reliance on CSC markers for their identification, and/or discrepancies in recognition of CSC as a particular cell population or cellular state. In this review, we summarize how EMT, autophagy, and cellular stress response are tied or unwound with CSC. We also discuss the current view of CSC theory evolved from the emphasis of heterogenicity and plasticity of CSC.
