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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for the maintenance, metastasis, and relapse of various tumors. The effects of CSCs on the tumorigenesis of HCC are still not fully understood, however. We have recently established two new rat HCC cell lines HTC and TW-1, which we isolated from diethylnitrosamine-induced rat liver cancer. Results showed that TW-1 expressed the genetic markers of CSCs, including CD133, GSTP1, CD44, CD90, and EpCAM. Moreover, TW-1 showed higher tolerance to sorafenib than HTC did. In addition, tumorigenesis and metastasis were observed in nude mice and wild-type rats with TW-1 xenografts. Finally, we combined highly expressed genes in TW-1/HTC with well-known biomarkers from recent HCC studies to predict HCC-related biomarkers and able to identify HCC with AUCs > 0.9 after machine learning. These results indicated that TW-1 was a novel rat CSC line, and the mice or rat models we established with TW-1 has great potential on HCC studies in the future.
