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

The transient receptor potential melastatin member 8 (TRPM8) is a newly characterized oncoprotein involved in various malignant tumors. However, its expression pattern and biological function in osteosarcoma remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the expression and prognostic significance of TRPM8 in osteosarcoma (OS). The results revealed that the expression of TRPM8 mRNA and protein in OS tissue was significantly higher than that in paired normal bone tissue (P<0.05). Additionally, the level of TRPM8 mRNA and protein in patients with a higher clinical stage and with distant metastasis was markedly higher than in those with a lower clinical stage and no metastasis (P<0.05). Furthermore, a high TRPM8 level was closely associated with clinical stage and distant metastasis (P=0.007 and 0.030), but not associated with the patient age (P=0.481), gender (P=0.905), tumor size (P=0.429), histological subtype (P=0.207) or anatomical location (P=0.369). In addition, OS patients with high TRPM8 expression had significantly shorter overall survival (P=0.008) and disease-free survival times (P=0.008) when compared with patients with low expression of TRPM8. In Cox multivariate analysis, TRPM8 overexpression was identified to be an independent and significant prognostic factor for overall survival (P=0.040), but not for disease-free survival (P=0.051). Collectively, the present data suggest that TRPM8 may play a crucial role in the development and progression of OS, and thus may be considered as a novel molecular target for therapy in patients with OS.
