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), the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, remains a major therapeutic challenge due to its high metastatic potential and limited response to conventional treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have emerged as a promising strategy with dual antitumor functions: direct oncolysis and the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). By releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activating the cGAS-STING pathway, OVs can remodel the immunologically "cold" tumor microenvironment (TME) into an inflamed and immune-responsive phenotype, thereby enhancing CD8
