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

The osteosarcoma (OS) microenvironment is composed of tumor cells, immune cells, and stromal tissue and is emerging as a pivotal player in OS development and progression. Thus, microenvironment-targeted strategies are urgently needed to improve OS treatment outcomes. Using principal component analysis (PCA), we systematically examined the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune cell infiltration of 88 OS cases and constructed a TME scoring system based on the TMEscore high and TMEscore low phenotypes. Our analysis revealed that TMEscore high correlates with longer survival in OS patients, elevated immune cell infiltration, increased immune checkpoints, and increased sensitivity to chemotherapy. TMEscore low strongly correlated with immune exclusion. These observations were externally validated using a GEO dataset (GSE21257) from 53 OS patients. Our laboratory data also proved our findings. This finding enhances our understanding of the immunological landscape in OS and may uncover novel targeted therapeutic strategies.
