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

Osteosarcoma is a rare but aggressive bone tumor that develops spontaneously in human and canine patients and most commonly metastasizes to the lung. The presence of lung metastases significantly decreases the survival rate of patients, with minimal benefit seen with available treatments. Canine osteosarcoma is clinically and molecularly similar to human osteosarcoma and develops approximately ten times more frequently than human osteosarcoma making dogs a promising natural model to study disease progression. The development of new therapies for pulmonary metastases requires an understanding of the interplay between tissue resident cells as well as recruited cell types and how those interactions impact seeding and progression within the new metastatic site. This review explores the tumor microenvironment surrounding pulmonary metastases and how current knowledge in canine and human patients can inform better treatments and outcomes for both populations.
