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

BACKGROUND As the most malignant bone tumor globally, osteosarcoma has drawn increased attention. However, no studies have focused on the association between marital status and survival rate. The objectives of this study were to determine the association between marital and survival rate of osteosarcoma patients based on the SEER database. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled a total of 2725 osteosarcoma patients between 1973 and 2015, including 1184 married, 154 divorced/separated, 136 widowed, and 1251 never-married patients. Survival rate was determined based on the Kaplan-Meier method in different marital subgroups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore independent prognostic factors. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates of the married, separated/divorced, widowed, and never-married subjects were 45.93%, 41.39%, 19.08%, and 57.21% (OS), and 49.97%, 45.85%, 22.14%, and 60.69% (CSS), respectively. The survival outcome among subgroups exhibited a clear difference, with a log-rank test p-value <0.0001. Multivariate Cox regression showed that widowhood served as the independent prognostic factor for decreased OS rather than marriage (HR, 1.246; 95% CI, 1.011-1.536; p-value=0.039) and CSS (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.07-1.68; p-value=0.01). Moreover, the OS and CSS in widowed patients were lower. Additionally, based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method, the prognosis of married patients was better than that of unmarried subjects. CONCLUSIONS Marital status was correlated with the survival rate, meaning that married patients had higher survival than widowed subjects, who had worse prognoses of osteosarcoma.
