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 (OS) is a fatal form of musculoskeletal tumor that commonly leads to pulmonary metastatic disease. Traditional therapies such as surgery and chemotherapy are not effective treatment modalities in certain patients with OS; therefore, identifying the molecular mechanism of OS is imperative for the development of novel therapeutics. Previous studies have reported that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is associated with numerous types of human malignancies. Therefore, in order to investigate the biological function of FAK in OS, the present study examined the expression levels of FAK in OS cell lines, OS tissues and paired normal tissue specimens by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).
