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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to construct a nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 4086 GIST patients listed in the SEER database from 1998 to 2015. They were separated to 2 groups: an experimental group (n=2862) and a verification group (n=1224). A nomogram was constructed by using statistically significant prognostic factors. RESULTS A nomogram that included age, sex, marital status, tumor location, grade, SEER stage, tumor size, and surgical management was developed. It can be used to predict overall survival (OS), while adding AJCC 7th TNM stage can predict cancer-specific survival (CSS). The C-index used to forecast OS and CSS nomograms was 0.778 (95% CI, 0.76-0.79) and 0.818 (95% CI, 0.80-0.84), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram can effectively predict 3- and 5-year CSS in patients with GIST, and its use can improve clinical practice.
