Treatment-Related Prognostic Factors in Managing Osteosarcoma around the Knee with Limb Salvage Surgery: A Lesson from a Long-Term Follow-Up Study.
Article in BioMed research international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the treatment-related factors associated with local recurrence and overall survival of patients with osteosarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsTreatment-related factors were analyzed to evaluate their effects on local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) in 182 patients from 2004 to 2013.
resultsThe mean length of follow-up was 73.4 ± 34.7 months (median, 68 months; range, 12-173 months), and 63 patients died by the end of the follow-up. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 68.6 ± 6.6% and 59.4 ± 10.6%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that treatment-related prognostic factors for overall survival were prolonged symptom intervals >=60 days, biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers, previous medical history, incomplete preoperative chemotherapy (<8 weeks), and prolonged postoperative interval >21 days. In the multivariate analysis, biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers, incomplete implementation of planned new adjuvant chemotherapy, and delayed resumption of postoperative chemotherapy (>21 days) were risk factors for poor prognosis; biopsy/tumor resection performed by different centers and tumor necrosis <90% were independent predictors of local recurrence.
conclusionFor localized osteosarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery, it is necessary to optimize timely standard chemotherapy and to resume postoperative chemotherapy to improve survival rates. Biopsies should be performed at experienced institutions in cases of developing local recurrence.
