Asymmetric cell division of ALDH1-positive cancer stem cells generates glycolytic metabolically diverse cell populations.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Metabolic heterogeneity in various cancer cells within a tumor causes resistance to medical therapies and promotes tumor recurrence and metastasis. However, the mechanisms by which tumors acquire metabolic heterogeneity are poorly understood. Here, we revealed that PKCλ-dependent asymmetric division of ALDH1-positive cancer stem cells (CSCs) led to an uneven distribution of glycolytic capacity, which is crucial for understanding metabolic heterogeneity within a tumor. The rate-limiting enzyme PFKP and the metabolic probe CDG in glycolysis codistributed with the ALDH1A3 protein during the post-cell division phase, highlighting a mechanism for acquiring metabolic diversity. PKCλ deficiency reduced the asymmetric distribution of these proteins in ALDH1
