PTK7 promotes the malignant properties of cancer stem-like cells in esophageal squamous cell lines.
Article in Human cell, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This study was performed to investigate the role of PTK7 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) stem-like cells (CSCs). PTK7 expression in ESCCs identified by RT-qPCR, and CSC-like cells were isolated from populations of NEC and TE-1 cells. The CSC-like cells were verified by flow cytometric analyses performed using CD34 and CD133 antibodies, and RT-qPCR and western blot assays were used to examine the self-renewal capability of CSC-like cells. CSC-like cells treated with PTK7 siRNA or a P53-specific inhibitor (PFTα) were analyzed for their sphere formation capacity and their apoptosis and migration/invasion capabilities by sphere formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assay, respectively. Their levels of P53, MKK3, and cleaved caspase 3 expression were examined by western blot analysis. Our results revealed that a majority of the isolated CSC-like cells were CD34
