A Model for the Prediction of Survival in Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma After Surgery.

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.
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
objectiveWe aimed to formulate and validate prognostic nomograms that can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
methodsBy consulting the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified patients who were surgically treated for UTUC between 2004 and 2013. Variables were analyzed in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Nomograms were constructed based on independent prognostic factors. The prognostic nomogram models were established and validated internally and externally to determine their ability to predict the survival of patients with UTUC.
resultsA total of 4990 patients were collected and enrolled in our analyses. Of these, 3327 patients were assigned to the training set and 1663 to the validation set. Nomograms were effectively applied to predict the 3- and 5-year survivals of patients with UTUC after surgery. The nomograms exhibited better accuracy for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) than the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system and the SEER stage in both the training and validation sets. Calibration curves indicated that the nomograms exhibited high correlation to actual observed results for both OS and CSS.
conclusionsThe nomogram models showed stronger predictive ability than the TNM staging system and the SEER stage. Precise estimates of the prognosis of UTUC might help doctors to make better treatment decisions.
