Evaluation of osteopontin as a potential biomarker for central nervous system embryonal tumors.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Osteopontin (OPN) is a protein linked to tumor growth, progression and metastasis of cancers. However, its role in the progression of central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors such as atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT), medulloblastoma (MB) and primitive neuroepithelial tumors (PNET) remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the value of OPN staining in differential diagnosis of AT/RT from MB and PNET, and assessed the correlation between OPN expression and patients' prognosis. This retrospective study was conducted on tissue sections obtained from children cases with CNS embryonal tumors treated in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from 2006 to 2012 by immunohistochemistry (IHC). 49 cases were collected (11 AT/RTs, 25 MBs, and 13 PNETs), with a median follow-up time of 28.9 months. OPN expression in AT/RT was significantly higher than MB and PNET with the positive rates of 100, 32, and 23 %, respectively (P < 0.01). The specificity and sensitivity of OPN staining in diagnosing AT/RT are 97.4 and 90.9 %, respectively, as judged by strong OPN IHC staining level (+++). Patients who had positive OPN staining have increased risks of poorer median overall survival (hazard risk 5.54, 95 % CI 1.87-16.38) and tumor progression (hazard risk 14.47, 95 % CI 4.47-46.85). OPN is a valuable biomarker to aid in the differential diagnosis between AT/RT and MB/PNET. Moreover, OPN is a potential novel prognostic marker for CNS embryonal tumors.
