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 children and young adults. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is considered as the key glycolytic enzyme and involved in tumor initiation and metabolism. Here, we firstly found that LDHB was highly expressed in osteosarcoma cell lines. Expression profiling indicated that LDHB mRNA was elevated in osteosarcoma tissues with metastasis versus without metastasis, and LDHB high expression predicted a poor prognosis in patients. After LDHB knockdown by siRNA transfection, cell growth and proliferation were inhibited and presented a dose-dependent cell death via MTT assay. Meanwhile, wound healing and matrigel invasion assay revealed that LDHB knockdown inhibited migration and invasion activities in osteosarcoma cells. We further constructed tissue microarray in 40 osteosarcoma tissues. Correlation between LDHB and clinicopathological features indicated that LDHB expressions were associated with tumor TNM stage, recurrence and survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curve revealed that overall survival was significantly decreased in patients with high expression of LDHB. Patients with recurrence or advanced stage showed an increased LDHB, suggesting that increased LDHB was closely associated with a poor prognosis in osteosarcoma patients. Thus, LDHB can be considered as a prognostic marker for tumor recurrence and poor overall survival in osteosarcoma.
