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

Multidrug chemoresistance (MDR) remains the most significant obstacle to improving survival in osteosarcoma patients. Heterogeneous genetic alterations characterise the tumour microenvironment, and host molecular markers have been associated with MDR. This systematic review examines the genetic alterations of molecular biomarkers associated with multidrug chemotherapy resistance in genome-wide analysis of central high-grade conventional osteosarcoma (COS). We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Wiley online library and Scopus. Only human studies involving genome-wide analysis were included, while candidate gene, in vitro and animal studies were excluded. The risk of bias of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. The systematic search identified 1355 records. Following the screening, six studies were included in the qualitative analysis. There were 473 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with chemotherapy response in COS. Fifty-seven of those were associated with MDR in osteosarcoma. The heterogeneous gene expressions were related to the mechanism of MDR in osteosarcoma. The mechanisms include drug-related sensitivity genes, bone remodelling and signal transduction. Complex, variable and heterogenous gene expression patterns underpin MDR in osteosarcoma. Further research is needed to identify the most relevant alterations for prognostication and to guide the development of possible therapeutic targets.
