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

NANOG is an embryonic transcription factor, which gets reexpressed in cancer stem or tumor initiating cells. NANOGP8, a retrogene belonging to the NANOG family, is predominantly expressed in cancer cells and shows very high similarity with NANOG both at the nucleotide and at the protein level. The high similarity makes it extremely challenging to distinguish between these two transcription factors. Here we describe a highly efficient restriction endonuclease-based assay, which is performed on cDNA and allows to distinguish NANOGP8 from NANOG. This assay is critical to understand the specific role of NANOGP8 in cancer stemness, which in turn helps to unravel the therapeutic potential of targeting this undruggable transcription factor through gene therapy, for treatment of various cancers.
