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

backgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumors diagnosed in children and adolescents. Recent studies have shown a prognostic role of DNA methylation in various cancers, including OS. The aim of this study was to identify the aberrantly methylated genes that are prognostically relevant in OS.

methodsThe differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs and methylated genes (DEGs, DEMs and DMGs respectively) were screened from various GEO databases, and the potential target genes of the DEMs were predicted by the RNA22 program. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed using the STRING database and visualized by Cytoscape software. The functional enrichment and survival analyses of the screened genes was performed using the R software.

resultsForty-seven downregulated hypermethylated genes and three upregulated hypomethylated genes were identified that were enriched in cell activation, migration and proliferation functions, and were involved in cancer-related pathways like JAK-STAT and PI3K-AKT. Eight downregulated hypermethylated tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) were identified among the screened genes based on the TSGene database. These hub genes are likely involved in OS genesis, progression and metastasis, and are potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
