Gene Panel of Persister Cells as a Prognostic Indicator for Tumor Repopulation After Radiation.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Tumor repopulation during cycles of radiotherapy limits the radio-response in ensuing cycles and causes failure of treatment. It is thus of vital importance to unveil the mechanisms underlying tumor repopulating cells. Increasing evidence suggests that a subpopulation of drug-tolerant persister cancer cells (DTPs) could survive the cytotoxic treatment and resume to propagate. Whether these persister cells contribute to development of radio-resistance remains elusive. Based on the genetic profiling of DTPs by integrating datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus database, this study aimed to provide novel insights into tumor-repopulation mediated radio-resistance and identify predictive biomarkers for radio-response in clinic. A prognostic risk index, grounded on four persister genes (LYNX1, SYNPO, GADD45B, and PDLIM1), was constructed in non-small-cell lung cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) using stepwise Cox regression analysis. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis further confirmed the interaction among persister-gene based risk score, radio-response and overall survival time. In addition, the predictive role of risk index was validated
