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

backgroundThe incidence and the mortality of lung cancer rank first among all malignant tumors and it seriously affects human health. The common types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma with clinical research and more attention, while adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare pathological subtype of lung cancer, which clinical features and prognostic factors are not yet fully understood. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical features and prognosis of lung adenosquamous carcinoma, and construct a nomogram to predict the patients' prognosis.

methodsWe obtained the data of adenosquamous carcinoma patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of the United States, and compared their clinical features and prognosis with those of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma patients in the same period. Then we used univariate and multivariate analyses to explore the independent prognostic factors of adenosquamous carcinoma. Finally, we constructed and validated a nomogram to visually predict the outcomes of lung adenosquamous carcinoma.

results1,453 patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma were finally included. Compared with patients with lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, the distributions of lung adenocarcinoma patients in most of the variables were medium between lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The prognosis of adenosquamous carcinoma was better than that of lung squamous cell carcinoma, but worse than that of lung adenocarcinoma. Multivariate analysis showed that age, differentiation, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM), surgery, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors (all P were less than 0.001). We constructed a nomogram with a C-index of 0.783 (0.767-0.799). The distinction test and consistency test showed that the nomogram could predict the patient's prognosis effectively.

conclusionsLung adenosquamous carcinoma has unique clinical, pathological, and prognostic characteristics. Age, differentiation, T, N, M, surgery, and chemotherapy status are independent predictors of prognosis in patients with adenosquamous carcinoma. Our nomogram can efficiently predict the prognosis of patients.
