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

backgroundIncreased expression of high mobility group box 2 (HMGB2) has been reported to promote the progression of several malignancies and be related to poor outcome. However, few studies have explored the relationship between HMGB2 and osteosarcoma. In this study, we aimed to obtain a better understanding of HMGB2 and its function in osteosarcoma.

methodsUtilizing osteosarcoma paraffin sections and osteosarcoma cell lines, we observed the clinico-pathological relationship of osteosarcoma with HMGB2 expression and investigated the functions of HMGB2

resultsStrong expression of HMGB2 was found to be related with Enneking staging (P=0.002), tumor size (P=0.006), metastasis (P<0.001), and survival (P=0.011) in osteosarcoma. Multivariate analysis revealed that HMGB2 might have independent prognostic value in osteosarcoma (P=0.022). Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test showed that survival time was significantly reduced in OS patients with strong HMGB2 expression (P=0.0056).

conclusionsOur findings suggest that HMGB2 might have various functions in promoting the progression of osteosarcoma and may serve as a new target for osteosarcoma research.
