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 metastatic potential of osteosarcoma cells is inversely correlated to cell surface FAS expression. Downregulation of FAS allows osteosarcoma cells to escape FAS ligand-mediated apoptosis when they enter a FAS ligand-positive microenvironment such as the lung. We have previously demonstrated that miR-20a, encoded by the miR-17-92 cluster, downregulates FAS expression in osteosarcoma. We further demonstrated an inverse correlation between FAS expression and miR-20a expression. However, the mechanism of
