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

purposeTo develop and validate nomograms for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with surgically resected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). PATIENTS AND

methodsThe nomograms were developed using a development cohort of 947 ICC patients after surgery selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, and externally validated using a training cohort of 159 patients admitted at our institution. Nomograms for OS and CSS were established based on the independent prognostic factors identified by COX regression models and Fine and Grey's models, respectively. The performance of the nomograms was validated internally and externally by using the concordance index (c-index), and calibration plot, and compared with that of AJCC 8th edition TNM staging system by using c-index and decision curve analysis.

resultsAge, T stage, M stage, lymph node ratio (LNR) level and tumor grade were independent prognostic predictors for OS in ICC patients, while T stage, M stage, LNR level and tumor grade were independent prognostic predictors for CSS. Nomogram predicting OS was with a c-index of 0.751 on internal validation and 0.725 up to external validation, while nomogram for CSS was with a c-index of 0.736 on internal validation and 0.718 up to external validation. Calibration plots exhibited that the nomograms-predicted and actual OS/CSS probabilities were fitted well on both internal and external validation. Additionally, the nomograms exhibited superiority over AJCC 8th edition TNM staging system with higher c-indices and net benefit gains, in predicting OS and CSS in ICC patients after surgery.

conclusionThe constructed nomograms could predict OS and CSS with good performance, which could be served as an effective tool for prognostic evaluation and individual treatment strategies optimization in ICC patients after surgery in clinical practice.
