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

objectiveMulti-agent chemotherapy is an important pillar in treatment of high-grade osteosarcoma. In an effort to improve patient survival, it is imperative to determine the effectiveness of new substances. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model can be used to analyze drug sensitivity in high-grade osteosarcoma.

resultsSpare biopsy tissue from five patients diagnosed with high-grade osteosarcoma was transferred into non-immortalized primary cell culture. After a pre-incubation period of 10 days, fertilized chick eggs were inoculated with primary tumor cells suspended in extracellular matrix gel. On day 16, treatment with 20 µmol/l doxorubicin (n = 4) or 25 µl of culture medium (n = 6) was performed for 24 h. CAM membranes were documented macroscopically, harvested and examined histologically. Transfer of biopsy specimens into primary cell culture was successful in all cases. 50% (n = 10) of eggs died after inoculation with tumor cells and before application of doxorubicin. No deaths occurred after application of doxorubicin. Histological examination found a response to doxorubicin in all four specimens. Based upon these results, the CAM model represents a promising preclinical alternative to animal experiments to determine drug sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells. Further research with regard to other substances and dosages appear justified.
