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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a crucial therapeutic target because of their role in resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy, metastasis, and tumor recurrence. Differentiation therapy presents a potential strategy for "defanging" CSCs. To date, only a limited number of small-molecule and nanomaterial-based differentiating agents have been identified. We report here the integrated use of nanoparticle engineering and hypothesis-free sensing to identify nanoparticles capable of efficient differentiation of CSCs into non-CSC phenotypes. Using this strategy, we identified a nanoparticle that induces CSC differentiation by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. Importantly, this unreported phenotype is more susceptible to drug treatment than either CSCs or non-CSCs, demonstrating a potentially powerful strategy for anticancer therapeutics.
