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

In the last 15 years, chemotherapy-based therapeutic regimens for the treatment of osteosarcoma have failed to demonstrate improved survival rates. Novel approaches, including targeted therapy and antiangiogenic therapy, may provide new methods for the treatment of osteosarcoma, one of the most deadly malignant diseases. In the present study, the therapeutic efficacy of an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, endostatin, was tested in combination with the chemotherapeutic agent, adriamycin. BALB/c mice, aged 4-6 weeks were fed animal chow and had access to water ad libitum. The mice were divided into groups and injected with tumor cells. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to identify the microvessel density. The TUNEL technique was also used to determine the apoptotic index. The combination of endostatin and adriamycin produced marked synergistic antitumor activity in a mouse osteosarcoma model. These findings provide new guidelines for designing future clinical trials and for the application of currently available clinical drugs (endostatin has been approved for clinical use) in the treatment of osteosarcoma.
