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

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a cellular subpopulation accelerating cancer cell growth, invasion and metastasis and survival. After chemoradiotherapy, CSCs are enriched because of their survival advantages and lead to tumor relapse and metastasis. Elimination of CSCs is critically important for the radical treatment of human cancers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides and have no protein-coding potential. Aberrant expressions of lncRNAs are associated with human diseases including cancer. LncRNAs function as cancer biomarkers, prognostic factors and therapeutic targets. They induce cancer stemness by chromatin modification, transcriptional regulation or post-transcriptional regulation of target genes as a sponge or through assembling a scaffold complex. Several factors caused aberrant expressions of lncRNAs in CSCs such as genes mutations, epigenetic alteration and environmental stimuli. Targeting of lncRNAs has been demonstrated to significantly reverse the chemoradioresistance of CSCs. In this review, we have summarized the progress of studies regarding lncRNAs-mediated therapy resistance of CSCs and clarified the molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, we have for the first time analyzed the influences of lncRNAs on cell metabolism and emphasized the effect of tumor microenvironment on lncRNAs functions in CSCs. Overall, the thorough understanding of the association of lncRNAs and CSCs would contribute to the reversal of therapy resistance.
