CD133 prevents colon cancer cell death induced by serum deprivation through activation of Akt-mediated protein synthesis and inhibition of apoptosis.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2021. 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
During the early phase of tumorigenesis, primary malignant cells survive within a low nutrition environment caused by a poorly organized vascular system. Here, we sought to determine the functional significance of CD133 in the survival of cancer cells under nutrient-poor conditions. Knockdown and overexpression experiments demonstrated that CD133 suppresses colon cancer cell death induced by serum deprivation through activation of Akt-mediated anti-apoptosis and protein synthesis pathways. Furthermore, serum deprivation increased the amount of endogenous CD133 protein, which was regulated at least in part by phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Thus, it is highly likely that CD133 contributes to the acquisition/maintenance of the resistance to stress arising from nutrient deficiency in early avascular tumor tissues.
