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

Sal-like protein 4 (SALL4) is a zinc finger transcription factor that has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in several human malignancies and identified as an oncogene. However, the potential role of SALL4 in osteosarcoma remains to be elucidated. In this study, we explored the biological functions of SALL4 in osteosarcoma. We found that SALL4 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of SALL4 inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. In addition, SALL4 knockdown suppressed osteosarcoma growth and metastasis in vivo. We also showed that SALL4 knockdown decreased the protein expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in osteosarcoma cells. Taken together, our study showed that SALL4 plays an important role in regulating the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Thus, SALL4 may represent a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of osteosarcoma.
