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

Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy, characterized by aggressive local invasion and a high propensity for metastasis. We previously reported that cyclin E1 is upregulated in osteosarcoma. In this study, we identified a cytoplasmic, low molecular weight cyclin E1 isoform (LMW-cyclin E1) in osteosarcoma that is significantly associated with poor patient outcomes. Methods: We collected RNA sequencing data to analyze the cyclin E1 ( Results and discussion: Mechanistically, we found that ELA2, primarily derived from tumor-associated neutrophils, cleaves full-length cyclin E1 to generate LMW-cyclin E1, which accelerates OS proliferation. Moreover, neutrophil infiltration was associated with OS lung metastasis. OS cells also induced neutrophil extracellular trap formation, which further amplified ELA2 release. Depleting neutrophils or inhibiting ELA2 significantly suppressed OS malignancy. Hence, targeting neutrophil-osteosarcoma crosstalk may be a potential novel therapeutic strategy.
