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

In the high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment of patients with osteosarcoma, a dose-adjustment method using individual pharmacokinetic parameters (PK method) to optimize the concentration was developed in 2010. However, to the best of our knowledge, the clinical usefulness of the PK method has not been verified until now. In the present retrospective study, to assess the usefulness of the PK method, the achievement rate of an effective and safe concentration range was evaluated. A total of 43 patients with osteosarcoma who were administered HD-MTX therapy (43 first courses and 200 subsequent courses) were enrolled. The MTX dose in the first course was determined using a common method based on body surface area (BSA method); a total of 8-12 g/m
