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

backgroundAs one of the endoplasmic reticulum proteins, calreticulin (CRT) plays a significant role in the body, and it has been used by many researchers as a target for anti-tumor therapy.

objectiveThe main purpose of the present study was to study expression of CRT of human osteosarcoma, and analyze the distinctions between normal and tumor tissues, pre- and post-chemotherapy patients, and metastatic and non-metastatic tumors in respect to this expression.

methodsImmunofluorescent staining was used in order to investigate expression of CRT in diverse tissues. The whole RNA and proteins were extracted from the crushed tissues and used in the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis.

resultsThe present study detected expression of CRT in patients with osteosarcoma and revealed a higher expression level in normal tissues surrounding tumors compared with tumor tissues, in the non-metastasis group compared with the metastasis group, and in the chemotherapy group compared with the non-chemotherapy group.

conclusionsThese results could indicate a brand-new biological marker which may be applied to estimate the features and prognosis of osteosarcoma.
