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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to determine whether and how tumor self-seeding by circulating tumor cells (CTCs) plays a role in the initiation and progression of osteosarcoma.

methodsTwo different nude mouse models of human osteosarcoma were established for detecting tumor self-seeding by fluorescently labeled CTCs. Various tumor growth indicators were quantitated for seeded and unseeded groups. Growth mechanisms were characterized using cell proliferation assays and immunohistochemical staining. Conditioned media of primary osteosarcoma cells was characterized in a Transwell migration assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of cytokines secreted by primary tumor cells was verified by small interfering RNA and recombinant human cytokine experiments.

resultsRed fluorescent protein-labeled CTCs seeded primary tumors in both models. Seeded primary tumors groups grew faster than control groups (P < 0.05), which was partially attributed to the CTCs having a higher proliferation rate and higher vascular endothelial growth factor expression after self-seeding. Conditioned media of primary osteosarcoma cells attracted CTCs, through an IL-6-dependent mechanism.

conclusionsCTC tumor self-seeding occurs in osteosarcoma and promotes the growth of primary osteosarcoma. CTCs appear to be recruited by cytokines secreted by primary osteosarcoma cells, particularly IL-6.
