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

A regression model is developed to predict survival time in months for lung cancer patients. It was previously shown that predictive models perform accurately for short survival times of less than 6 months; however, model accuracy is reduced when attempting to predict longer survival times. This study employs an approach for which regression models are used in combination with a classification model to predict survival time. A set of de-identified lung cancer patient data was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The models use a subset of factors selected by ANOVA. Model accuracy is measured by a confusion matrix for classification and by Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for regression. Random Forests are used for classification, while general Linear Regression, Gradient Boosted Machines (GBM), and Random Forests are used for regression. The regression results show that RF had the best performance for survival times ≤6 and >24 months (RMSE 10.52 and 20.51, respectively), while GBM performed best for 7-24 months (RMSE 15.65). Comparison plots of the results further indicate that the regression models perform better for shorter survival times than the RMSE values are able to reflect.
