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

Liver cancer stem cells (L-CSCs) are considered to be an important therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study provides a new in vitro long-term culture model for a specific subpopulation of L-CSCs enriched by cell surface markers. We combined CD13, CD133 and EpCAM to selectively enrich L-CSCs, which we then cultured in modified chemically defined medium. The enriched L-CSCs exhibited enhanced proliferation, self-renewal and long-term clonal maintenance ability as compared with non-CSCs. Compared with wild-type hepatocellular carcinoma, the expression of stemness surface markers, oncogenes, drug resistance and tumorigenicity in enriched L-CSCs was significantly increased. In summary, the subpopulation of L-CSCs still maintains cancer stem cell-related phenotypes after 14 days of culture.
