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

objectivePeritoneal dissemination is difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging technologies. We aimed to construct a nomogram to predict peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer (GC) patients.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 1,112 GC patients in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between 2001 and 2010 as the development set and 474 patients from The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University between 2010 and 2016 as the validation set. The clinicopathological variables associated with gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination (GCPD) were analyzed. We used logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for peritoneal dissemination. Then, we constructed a nomogram for the prediction of GCPD and defined its predictive value with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. External validation was performed to validate the applicability of the nomogram.

resultsIn total, 250 patients were histologically identified as having peritoneal dissemination. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, sex, tumor location, tumor size, signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), T stage, N stage and Borrmann classification IV (Borrmann IV) were independent risk factors for peritoneal dissemination. We constructed a nomogram consisting of these eight factors to predict GCPD and found an optimistic predictive capability, with a C-index of 0.791, an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.791, and a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 0.762-0.820. The results found in the external validation set were also promising.

conclusionsWe constructed a highly sensitive nomogram that can assist clinicians in the early diagnosis of GCPD and serve as a reference for optimizing clinical management strategies.
