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 outcome of chemotherapy for osteosarcoma have improved during the past decade and more patients have access to combination chemotherapy, but there has been no significant clinical progress in the patient survival rate. Recently, forkhead-box O3 (FOXO3) was identified as a pivotal transcription factor responsible for the transcriptional regulation of genes associated with suppression of cancer. The purpose of the present study was to screen small chemicals activating FOXO3 and elucidate their underlying mechanism. Using a drug discovery platform based on the phosphorylation status of FOXO3 in osteosarcoma cells, mitoxantrone (MTZ), a type of DNA-damaging agent, was selected as a possible FOXO3 activator from the food and drug administration-approved drug library. MTZ treatments significantly inhibited the phosphorylation level of Akt-pS473 and caused nuclear localization of FOXO3 in osteosarcoma cells. MTZ treatment inhibited proliferation in osteosarcoma cells
