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) contribute to the resistance of intractable prostate cancer, and dopamine receptor (DR)D2 antagonists exhibit anticancer activity against prostate cancer and CSCs. Human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were used to generate CSC-like cells, serving as a surrogate system to identify the specific DR subtype the inhibition of which significantly affects prostate-derived CSCs. Additionally, the present study aimed to determine the downstream signaling molecules of this DR subtype that exert more profound effects compared with other DR subtypes. The inhibitory effects of specific antagonists or small interfering (si)RNAs on DR subtypes were compared by analyzing morphological changes of cells, expression patterns of pluripotency markers, cell growth inhibitory activities and
