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

backgroundOsteosarcoma is the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor. The primary treatment for osteosarcoma is a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. However, there has been no recent progress in the role of chemotherapy in improving the long-term survival of osteosarcoma patients. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect chemotherapy in patients with osteosarcoma and explore the challenges and survival benefits of chemotherapy.

methodsPatient data were downloaded from The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were used to analyze the factors affecting patients receiving chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve was used to analyze the survival benefit of chemotherapy in patients with osteosarcoma. Finally, we used annual percentage change (APC) to evaluate the annual changes in chemotherapy treatment rates and trends in 5-year survival rates in osteosarcoma patients.

resultsA total of 2157 osteosarcoma patients were included, of which 1887 patients received chemotherapy. Factors affecting patients receiving chemotherapy included age, primary tumor site, tumor size, N stage, M stage, and surgery. The K-M curve showed that older patients could benefit significantly from chemotherapy. The APC results showed no significant change in the chemotherapy treatment rate and 5-year overall survival rate of osteosarcoma patients.

conclusionChemotherapy is an irreplaceable treatment for patients with osteosarcoma. However, in recent years, there has been no significant progress in chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, and the long-term survival of patients has not improved significantly. New chemotherapeutic drugs or drug delivery systems are urgently needed to improve the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.
