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

introductionNeuroblastoma is one of the most common extracranial solid tumors in children, which accounts for about 7-10% in children's tumors. The prognosis group of patients with neuroblastoma could not only improve the efficacy of high-risk patients, but also reduce the effects of drug complications for surviving patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients diagnosed with neuroblastoma between 1986 and 2012 were selected form the TARGET database. The nomogram was built with potential risk factors based on COX regression analysis. The precision of the 3-year and 5-year survival of the nomograms was evaluated by the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).

resultsA total of 757 child neuroblastoma patients were selected from the TARGET database. Univariate analysis showed that age of diagnosis (>520 day), race of American Indian or Alaska Native, stage 4 in International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS),

conclusionsThe nomogram showed stronger predictive power than the INSS staging system, tumor histology and COG risk group. Precise estimates of the prognosis of childhood neuroblastoma might help doctors make better treatment decisions.
