Research Progress of Cancer Stem Cells in Uveal Melanoma.
Review in OncoTargets and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Uveal melanoma is the most common malignant tumor in adult eyes, mostly in the choroid, but also in the iris and ciliary body. Distant metastasis is found in nearly half of the patients. Cancer stem cells are a kind of cells with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation, which are related to tumor invasion and metastasis. Although the concept of cancer stem cells is relatively mature in other tumors, its existence and verification methods in uveal melanoma are still uncertain. A more in-depth understanding of cancer stem cells and their mechanism may reveal new strategies to treat uveal melanoma. This article reviews the concept of cancer stem cells and their research progress in uveal melanoma, including identification, probable markers, cancer stem cell targeted drug therapy and the controversies and prospects in this field.
