Growth dynamics of breast cancer stem cells: effects of self-feedback and EMT mechanisms.
Article in Theory in biosciences = Theorie in den Biowissenschaften, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) with the ability to self-renew and differentiate have been identified in primary breast cancer tissues and cell lines. The BCSCs are often resistant to traditional radiation and/or chemotherapies. Previous studies have also shown that successful therapy must eradicate cancer stem cells. The purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical model with self-feedback mechanism to illustrate the issues regarding the difficulties of absolutely eliminating a breast cancer. In addition, we introduce the mechanism of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to investigate the influence of EMT on the effects of breast cancer growth and treatment. Results indicate that the EMT mechanism facilitates the growth of breast cancer and makes breast cancer more difficult to be cured. Therefore, targeting the signals involved in EMT can halt tumor progression in breast cancer. Finally, we apply the experimental data to carry out numerical simulations and validate our theoretical conclusions.
