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

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a heterogeneous, aggressive malignancy of the bone that disproportionally affects children and adolescents. Therapeutic interventions for OS are limited, which is in part due to the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). As such, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to describe the cellular and molecular composition of the TME in 6 treatment-naïve dogs with spontaneously occurring primary OS. Through analysis of 35,310 cells, we identified 41 transcriptomically distinct cell types including the characterization of follicular helper T cells, mature regulatory dendritic cells (mregDCs), and 8 tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) populations. Cell-cell interaction analysis predicted that mregDCs and TAMs play key roles in modulating T cell mediated immunity. Furthermore, we completed cross-species cell type gene signature homology analysis and found a high degree of similarity between human and canine OS. The data presented here act as a roadmap of canine OS which can be applied to advance translational immuno-oncology research.
