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

Podoplanin (PDPN) is an important positive regulator of platelet aggregation and functions as a lymphatic endothelial marker. PDPN has been observed to be expressed in human tumor tissues and various cancer cell lines. In the present study, PDPN expression in patients with primary osteosarcoma was assessed at the mRNA and protein levels, and the associations between PDPN expression and pulmonary metastasis (PM) and prognosis were examined. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was used to detect the expression levels of PDPN in primary osteosarcoma tissues and paired normal bone tissues (n=20 pairs). In addition, immunohistochemical analysis of PDPN expression was performed in 168 paraffin-embedded osteosarcoma tissue specimens and 23 matched normal tissues. The RT-qPCR results revealed higher mRNA expression levels of PDPN in patients with PM compared with patients without PM. Further survival analyses identified Enneking stage and PM as two independent prognostic indicators. Finally, univariate analysis revealed that high PDPN protein expression was significantly associated with Enneking stage and PM in patients with osteosarcoma.
