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

BACKGROUND/

aimCD44 and CD133 have been implicated as biomarkers of cancer cells and their expression could be analyzed to identify circulating tumor cells. Although CD44 and CD133 have been shown to be expressed in prostate cancer cells, a differential expression pattern has been reported depending on the tumor stage and cell line examined. We further investigated CD44 and CD133 expression in different prostate cancer cell lines to confirm whether their expression is distinguishable among patients with various tumor stages. MATERIALS AND

methodsCWR22Rv1, PC3, LNCaP, and DU145 cell lines were cultured and the cell morphology was observed for three days. The single expression of CD44 or CD133 and their combined expression were analyzed by flow cytometry.

resultsWe report that the single expression of CD133 was less than 5% in all cell lines examined here. PC3 and DU145 cells displayed a high expression of CD44 (>93%), while the expression of CD44 was less than 4% in CWR22Rv1 and LNCaP cells. CWR22Rv1 was the only cell line that demonstrated a high co-expression of both CD44 and CD133.

conclusionBoth single and combined expression of CD44 and CD133 should be considered when validating the detection of prostate cancer cells in circulating tumor cells.
