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

backgroundWe analyzed clinical and immunohistochemical characteristics of pediatric, adolescents and young adults with high-grade osteosarcoma (HGOS) to validate prognostic factors, identify targetable and prognostic biomarkers and define management of multiple relapses.

methodsRetrospective analysis of 67 patients with HGOS between 2001 and 2020 was studied. BTN3A2, HSP90 and GLYPICAN1 were further analyzed based on their high expression on in silico model.

resultsConventional osteosarcoma was the most frequent histology subtype (89.5%); 26.9% of patients had metastases at diagnosis. Proportion of limb-sparing surgery and R0 resection increased before and after 2011 (66.6% vs. 96.2%; 78.5% vs 87.5% respectively), while no treatment-related deaths occurred after 2011. 5-year OS and EFS were 61% and 56.6%, (5.4-year median follow-up (0.20-17.40). In multivariate analysis, metastatic disease was the sole independent prognostic factor. 5-year EFS and OS for patients with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd relapse were 8-12%, 0-5%, and 11.1-11.1% respectively. BTN3A2 was highly expressed at diagnosis, surgery, and relapse.

conclusionMetastatic disease remains the most important prognosis factor in HGOS. Improvements in surgical procedures and reduction in treatment-related mortality were observed. Survival after multiple relapses remains poor; we define figures to be used for benchmarking in clinical trials. BTN3A2 is a potential therapeutic target.
