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 metastasis and stem cells (CSCs) drive resistance and most cancer deaths. Novel agents like Thiolatia (PSMD14 inhibitor) suppress metastasis and enhance chemotherapy efficacy. Sulfarotene targets tumor-repopulating cells in liver cancer with low toxicity. PTC 209 utilizes the high affinity of modified hyaluronic acid nanoparticles for colorectal cancer to reverse CSC stemness in colorectal cancer. Platinum hybrids (HY1-Pt, Salvigenin-Pt) overcome resistance through dual mechanisms. Natural compound Cantharidin inhibits metastasis but requires toxicity optimization. These strategies emphasize specificity, nanodelivery, and combination therapies to reduce toxicity and resistance, highlighting precision oncology potential. Clinical validation remains critical for translation.
