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

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in adolescents and young adults. The lack of specific probes for human osteosarcoma hinders the early diagnosis and treatment of metastatic disease. In the present study, we have designed a novel aptamer using the cell-based Systematic Evolution of Ligands Exponential Enrichment (cell-SELEX) technique that specifically recognizes the U-2 OS human osteosarcoma cell line. Candidate aptamer families were identified through nine rounds of selection followed by sequence analysis and fluorescent labeling in addition to specific binding to U-2 OS cells. We identified one aptamer that showed high affinity and specificity to target cells, but did not recognize non-osteosarcoma negative control tumor cell lines. Moreover, we show that the selected aptamer can effectively be used as a molecular probe for specific recognition of clinical osteosarcoma samples. The generation of aptamer libraries can be used not only for the specific diagnosis of osteosarcoma, but also to build a platform for developing probe-carrier-antitumor drugs complexes and targeted therapies for osteosarcoma.
