Polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor on prognosis in osteosarcoma patients.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveWe conducted a cohort study to investigate the association of three common SNPs of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) gene (+1612G/A, -634C/G and +936G/C) with clinical outcome of osteosarcoma in a Chinese population.
methodsA prospective study was conducted. Genotyping analyses of VEGF -2578C/A, +1612G/A, -634C/G and +936G/C were conducted using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length of polymorphism. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI of effect of each genotype of VEGF+1612G/A, -634C/G and +936G/C on PFS and osteosarcoma of osteosarcoma.
resultsThe good response rate was 52.29%, and 116 (68.7%) died during the follow-up period. Patients carrying the +936 CC genotype and C allele showed a significantly more response to chemotherapy than those carrying the wild-type genotype. In the Cox proportional hazards model, patients carrying the VEGF -634 T allele was associated with a significantly decreased risk of PFS and Osteosarcoma (OS). Patients carrying the +936 CC genotype and C allele were associated with a significantly decreased risk of presenting progressive disease or death from osteosarcoma when compared with those carrying the wild-type genotype. However, we observed no significant association between the VEGF -2578C/A and +1612A/G polymorphisms and PFS and Osteosarcoma (OS) in gastric cancer patients.
conclusionsWe found that VEGF -634G/C and +936T/C polymorphisms may affect the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. These finding may be useful for predicting the clinical outcome of patients with Osteosarcoma (OS). Further studies are greatly needed to confirm the clinical significance of these results.
