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 is an aggressive bone malignancy with a high propensity for drug resistance and metastasis, leading to poor clinical outcomes. This study investigates the role of core 1 β1,3-galactosyltransferase 1 (C1GALT1) in osteosarcoma, focusing on its implications in chemoresistance. Our findings reveal that high expression of C1GALT1 is associated with advanced stages, adverse overall survival, and increased recurrence rates. Elevated levels of C1GALT1 were observed in doxorubicin-selected osteosarcoma cells, where its suppression significantly promoted doxorubicin-induced apoptosis and reduced drug efflux. Pharmacological inhibition of C1GALT1 using itraconazole replicated these effects, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance. Additionally, we identified the involvement of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCC1 in the drug-resistance phenotype mediated by C1GALT1. C1GALT1-mediated O-glycan changes were found to influence the cell-surface targeting and lysosomal degradation of ABCC1, thereby modulating its efflux capacity. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that C1GALT1 impacts ABCC1 expression and function, further supporting its role in osteosarcoma chemoresistance. These results highlight the clinical relevance of C1GALT1 as a biomarker for prognosis and a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma. © 2025 The Author(s).
