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

The present study was designed to determine whether the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is correlated with the extent of metastasis and the survival of patients with osteosarcoma. Using tissue microarrays, we analyzed the expression of CXCR4 and VEGF in tumor tissues collected from 56 patients with osteosarcoma. A two-year follow-up was performed to evaluate tumor metastatic behavior and the overall survival of the patients. There was a significant correlation between the expression of CXCR4 and the expression of VEGF in tumor tissues of these patients (P = 0.002). Univariate analysis revealed that expression of these proteins was correlated with clinical stage, but not age, gender, or serum alkaline phosphatase levels. The patients with tumors expressing CXCR4 and VEGF had worse overall survival rates compared with the patients with tumors that did not express CXCR4 (P = 0.03) or VEGF (P = 0.04). These data indicate that CXCR4 and VEGF expression is highly correlated with metastatic progression in patients with osteosarcoma and had predictive value for the metastasis and survival of osteosarcoma patients.
