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 factors affecting the prognosis and role of adjuvant therapy in advanced gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative resection remain unclear.

aimTo provide a survival prediction model to patients with GBC as well as to identify the role of adjuvant therapy.

methodsPatients with curatively resected advanced gallbladder adenocarcinoma (T3 and T4) were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2004 and 2015. A survival prediction model based on Bayesian network (BN) was constructed using the tree-augmented naïve Bayes algorithm, and composite importance measures were applied to rank the influence of factors on survival. The dataset was divided into a training dataset to establish the BN model and a testing dataset to test the model randomly at a ratio of 7:3. The confusion matrix and receiver operating characteristic curve were used to evaluate the model accuracy.

resultsA total of 818 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median survival time was 9.0 mo. The accuracy of BN model was 69.67%, and the area under the curve value for the testing dataset was 77.72%. Adjuvant radiation, adjuvant chemotherapy (CTx), T stage, scope of regional lymph node surgery, and radiation sequence were ranked as the top five prognostic factors. A survival prediction table was established based on T stage, N stage, adjuvant radiotherapy (XRT), and CTx. The distribution of the survival time (>9.0 mo) was affected by different treatments with the order of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (cXRT) > adjuvant radiation > adjuvant chemotherapy > surgery alone. For patients with node-positive disease, the larger benefit predicted by the model is adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference among the different adjuvant therapy groups (log rank, surgery alone

conclusionThe BN-based survival prediction model can be used as a decision-making support tool for advanced GBC patients. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy is expected to improve the survival significantly for patients with node-positive disease.
