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
Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent type of primary malignant bone tumor. Inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) has been demonstrated to function as a tumor suppressor through multiple pathways, and is its expression is understood to be suppressed or reduced in various malignancies. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of ING4 and to determine its prognostic value in osteosarcoma tissue. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue microarrays were analyzed, and contained 41 osteosarcoma specimens and 11 normal bone tissue specimens with duplicate cores. ING4 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. The association between ING4 expression in the osteosarcoma and normal bone tissues was analyzed, in addition to the association between ING4 expression and Enneking classification of the osteosarcoma tissues. A significant statistical difference was observed in the ING4 immunohistochemical staining score between the osteosarcoma and normal bone tissues (P<0.001). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was detected between the ING4 immunohistochemical staining scores and the Enneking classification results of the 41 osteosarcoma tissues (P=0.002). Low expression of ING4 was observed in the osteosarcoma specimens, and this reduced expression of ING4 was negatively correlated with Enneking classification. Thus, the results of the present study indicate that ING4 may serve as a promising prognostic marker in osteosarcoma.
