Mediating effect assessment of ifosfamide on limb salvage rate in osteosarcoma: A study from a single center in China.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Osteosarcoma is one of the most prevalent primary bone malignancies in children and adolescents. Surgery and chemotherapy are the standard treatment methods of osteosarcoma. Methotrexate, adriamycin, and cisplatin, and methotrexate, adriamycin, cisplatin, and ifosfamide regimens are both first-line neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens for osteosarcoma. Moreover, the use of ifosfamide is highly controversial. Most studies of ifosfamide focused on the overall survival rate and event-free survival rate; few studies concentrated on surgical options. We conducted this retrospective study to compare the baseline characteristic of amputation and limb salvage osteosarcoma patients. Furthermore, we analyzed the direct and indirect roles in surgical decision-making and found that ifosfamide may play a partial mediating role in the surgery option choice by mediating tumor mass volume change, tumor response, and the shortest distance from the center of main blood vessels to the margin of the tumor lesion.
