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

backgroundIt is critical for determining the optimum therapeutic solutions for T1-2 colorectal cancer (CRC) to accurately predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) status. The purpose of the present study is to establish and verify a nomogram to predict LNM status in T1-2 CRCs.

methodsA total of 16 600 T1-2 CRC patients were enrolled and classified into the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts. The independent predictive parameters were determined by univariate and multivariate analyses to develop a nomogram to predict the probability of LNM status. The calibration curve, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram, and an external verification cohort was to verify the applicability of the nomogram.

resultsSeven independent predictors of LNM in T1-2 CRC were identified in the multivariable analysis, including age, tumor site, tumor grade, perineural invasion, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen, clinical assessment of LNM, and T stage. A nomogram incorporating the seven predictors was constructed. The nomogram yielded good discrimination and calibration, with AUROCs of 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70-0.75), 0.70 (95% CI: 0.67-0.74), and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.71-0.79) in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts, respectively. DCA showed that the predictive scoring system had high clinical application value.

conclusionsWe proposed a novel predictive model for LNM in T1-2 CRC patients to assist physicians in making treatment decisions. The nomogram is advantageous for tailoring therapy in T1-2 CRC patients.
