Relationships between plain-film radiographic patterns and clinicopathologic variables in AJCC stage II osteosarcoma.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveIn this retrospective study, we assessed the plain-film radiographic patterns of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage II osteosarcoma and analyzed the relationship between these patterns and clinicopathologic variables. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 347 patients with AJCC stage II osteosarcoma who were treated at our institute. Patients were divided into three groups based on radiographic patterns, i.e., osteoblastic, osteolytic, and mixed. Fisher's exact chi-square test was performed to analyze correlations between radiographic patterns and clinicopathological variables.
resultsOne hundred and eighty-eight patients had an osteoblastic tumor, 101 had an osteolytic tumor, and 58 had a mixed tumor. Tumors with an osteoblastic pattern showed a tendency to have the following characteristics: AJCC stage II-B, osteoblastic or chondroblastic subtype, and no pathologic fracture. Conversely, osteolytic tumors were frequently of AJCC stage II-A, had a fibroblastic or rare subtype, and were associated with a pathologic fracture. Finally, mixed tumors were frequently found in men. No survival difference was found according to radiographic pattern.
conclusionsPlain-film radiographic patterns were found to be related with clinicopathological features. We believe that it could be used to provide valuable information for treatment decision-making in cases of high-grade extremity osteosarcoma.
