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

purposeOsteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children and young adults. Recent experimental evidence has indicated that Runx2/OPN axis play important roles in the metastasis of osteosarcoma cells. The present study aimed to explore their relationship and prognostic significance in surgically resected osteosarcoma.

methodsThe expression of runt-related transcription factor2(Runx2) and osteopontin (OPN) in clinical specimens from 105 osteosarcoma patients were detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlations between Runx2, OPN, and clinicopathologic data were analyzed by Chi-square (χ

resultsThe results showed there is a significant positive correlation between Runx2 and OPN expression at protein levels (P = 0.015). Runx2 and OPN were both independent predictors for overall survival and metastasis-free survival. When Runx2 and OPN were taken into consideration together, the predictive range was extended and the sensitivity was improved, and more significant and better biomarkers for osteosarcoma metastasis and survival.

conclusionsThese results suggest that a combined Runx2/OPN expression could be a valuable independent predictor of tumor metastasis and survival in osteosarcoma patients.
