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

Radiotherapy is an important treatment modality for tumors and is involved in the treatment course of more than 50% of cancer patients. However, resistance to ionizing radiation results in suboptimal radiotherapy efficacy and contributes to tumor recurrence and metastasis at later stages. With the increasing understanding of tumor pathogenesis, cancer stem cell (CSC), characterized by self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential, have attracted growing attention and play key roles in radiotherapy resistance, tumor progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and other processes. Mechanisms including the tumor microenvironment, DNA damage repair, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are critical drivers of CSC-mediated radiotherapy resistance. Reviewing the key pathways involved and identifying CSC-specific therapeutic targets may provide new insights for developing more efficient and less toxic radiotherapy strategies.
