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

aimTo make an accurate estimation of the association of ERCC1 and ERCC2 polymorphisms with osteosarcoma (OS) prognosis in Chinese population.

methodsTotal 7 qualified studies with 1404 osteosarcoma patients were included. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% CIs were pooled for the survival rate in different osteosarcoma patients with ERCC1 and ERCC2 genetic polymorphisms. The heterogeneity was assessed by I test. Potential publication bias was assessed by Begg funnel plot and Egger linear regression test.

resultsIn rs11615, no significant association was found under dominant [TT+TC vs. CC: OR = 1.252, 95% CI:0.864-1.815, P = .235], recessive [TT vs. TC+CC: OR = 0.850, 95% CI: 0.695-1.030, P = .095] or allelic model [T vs. C Allele: OR = 1.219, 95% CI: 0.922-1.612, P = .165]. In rs13181, no significant association was found under dominant [AA+AC vs. CC: OR = 1.031, 95% CI: 0.800-1.329, P = .801], recessive [AA vs. AC+CC: OR = 1.005, 95% CI: 0.875, 1.154, P = .944] or allelic model [A vs. C Allele: OR = 1.009, 95% CI: 0.903-1.128, P = .870]. In rs1799793, no significant association was found under dominant [GG+GA vs. AA: OR = 1.134, 95% CI: 0.884-1.454, P = .322, recessive [GG vs. AG+AA: OR = 1.025, 95% CI: 0.881-1.192, P = .750], or allelic model [G vs. A Allele: OR = 1.046, 95% CI: 0.930-1.177, P = .450].

conclusionThis study did not support rs11615, rs13181 or rs1799793 to be used as surrogate markers for clinical outcome of osteosarcoma with chemotherapy.
