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

introductionChondroblastic osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone tumor characterized by chondroid matrix production with variable cellularity. This retrospective study is aimed to assess the demographic distribution, clinical behavior and oncological outcome of chondroblastic osteosarcoma.

methods27 patients (14 males, 13 females) with chondroblastic osteosarcoma were included. The site of involvement included: proximal tibia (41%), distal femur (26%) and distal tibia (15%).The mean age of patients was 17 years (S.D: 6.9 years) (range 6-45 years).

resultsPainful swelling was the main complaint in all cases. Two patients were classified as Enneking III (lung) stage and the remaining patients had Enneking IIB stage. Post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy limb sparing surgery was performed in 70% of cases while in 30% of cases limb amputation was done. On histopathological examination of specimens mean necrosis was 64% (20-95%). Disease free survival (DFS) at 2 years was 46.4% and at 4 years was 27.9%. Median disease free survival was 24 ± 10.30 months. Overall survival (OS) at 2 years was 53.3% and at 4 years was 16.6%. Median overall survival is 28 ± 5.93 months.

conclusionsChondroblastic osteosarcoma is associated with poor prognosis, high recurrence rate and metastatic potential with dismal long-term survival. Chondroblastic osteosarcoma is an aggressive histological variant of conventional osteosarcoma with frequent location around the knee joint, affecting young population. Chemotherapy with Methotrexate, Adriamycin, Cisplatin (MAP) regimen is a well-tolerated regimen, resulting in limb salvage surgery in majority of the cases.
