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

Gastric cancer (GC) with lymph node metastasis (LNM) at diagnosis is associated with a unstable prognosis and indefinite survival times. The aim of the present study was to construct and validate a model for the Overall survival (OS) estimation for patients with LNM. The nomogram was constructed to predict the OS for LNM-positive GC using the primary group of 836 patients and validated using an independent cohort of 411 patients. Factors in the nomogram were identified by multivariate Cox hazard analysis. The predictive capability of nomogram was evaluated by calibration analysis and decision curve analysis. Multivariate analysis suggested that eight pre-treatment characteristics were used for developing the nomogram. In the primary cohort, the C-index for OS prediction was 0.788 (95% CI: 0.753-0.823), while in validation cohort, the C-index for OS prediction was 0.769 (95% CI: 0. 720-0.818). The calibration plot for the probability of OS and decision curve analyses showed an optimal agreement. Based on the nomogram, we could divided patients into three groups: low-risk group, middle-risk group and a high-risk group(p <0.001).Taken together, we have provided an easy-to-used and accurate tool for predicting OS, furthermore could be used for risk stratification of OS of LNM-positive GC patients.
