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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish comprehensive and practical nomograms, based on significant clinicopathological parameters, for predicting the overall survival (OS) and the disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). PATIENTS AND

methodsThe data of 35,151 ccRCC patients, diagnosed between 2004 and 2014, were obtained from the database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to evaluate the prognostic effects of multiple clinicopathological variables on survival. Based on Cox models, a nomogram was constructed to predict the probabilities of OS and DSS for an individual patient. The predictive performance of nomograms was evaluated using the concordance index (

resultsAccording to univariate and multivariate analyses, age at diagnosis, sex, race, marital status, surgical approach, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, and Fuhrman grade significantly correlated with the survival outcomes. These characteristics were used to establish nomograms. The nomograms showed good accuracy in predicting 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS and DSS, with a

conclusionNomograms were developed to predict death from ccRCC treated with nephrectomy. These new prognostic tools could aid in improving the predictive accuracy of survival outcomes, thus leading to reasonable individualized treatment.
