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

purposeChondrosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor with poor prognosis. Surgical treatment is the first choice for chondrosarcomas. Chondrosarcoma is not sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Identification of biological markers is important for the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of chondrosarcoma. This study investigated the protein expression and clinicopathological significance of ROR2 and FRAT1 in 59 chondrosarcomas and 33 osteochondromas.

methodsROR2 and FRAT1 protein expression in tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry.

resultsThe percentage of positive ROR2 and FRAT1 expression was significantly higher in patients with chondrosarcoma than in patients with osteochondroma (P < 0.01). The percentage of positive ROR2 and FRAT1 expression was significantly lower in patients with histological grade I, AJCC stage I/II stage, Enneking stage I, non-metastatic and invasive chondrosarcoma than patients with histological grade III, AJCC stage III/IV, Enneking stage II + III, metastatic and invasive chondrosarcoma (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). ROR2 expression was positively correlated with FRAT1 expression in chondrosarcoma. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that histological grade, AJCC stage, Enneking stage, metastasis, invasion, and ROR2 and FRAT1 expression significantly correlated with a short mean survival time of patients with chondrosarcoma (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Cox multivariate analysis showed that positive ROR2 and FRAT1 expression was an independent prognostic factor that negatively correlated with postoperative survival and positively correlated with mortality.

conclusionPositive ROR2 and FRAT1 expression is associated with the progression and poor prognosis of chondrosarcoma.
