Assessment of Clinical Time Intervals Along the Patient Journey with Overall Survival in Localized Osteosarcoma and Ewing Sarcoma: A 20-Year Tertiary Sarcoma Centre Experience.
Article in Cancers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe impact of healthcare-related time intervals on outcomes in bone sarcomas remains controversial. We evaluated the impact of clinically defined post-referral, in-hospital care intervals on overall survival (OS) and their variation over two decades, in patients treated at a tertiary sarcoma centre.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed 506 patients with localized osteosarcoma (
resultsMedian PJT was longer in Ewing's sarcoma than in osteosarcoma (17 vs. 14 days;
conclusionsWithin the specialized tertiary centre setting, longer in-hospital care timelines were not associated with poorer overall survival despite increasing over time, a finding that may reflect the growing complexity of multidisciplinary management exclusively during the post-referral phase.
