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

backgroundSurvival outcomes of patients with resected SCLC differ widely. The aim of our study was to build a model for individualized risk assessment and accurate prediction of overall survival (OS) in resectable SCLC patients.

methodsWe collected 1052 patients with resected SCLC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Independent prognostic factors were selected by COX regression analyses, based on which a nomogram was constructed by R code. External validation were performed in 114 patients from Shandong Provincial Hospital. We conducted comparison between the new model and the AJCC staging system. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were applied to test the application of the risk stratification system.

resultsSex, age, T stage, N stage, LNR, surgery and chemotherapy were identified to be independent predictors of OS, according which a nomogram was built. Concordance index (C-index) of the training cohort were 0.721, 0.708, 0.726 for 1-, 3- and 5-year OS, respectively. And that in the validation cohort were 0.819, 0.656, 0.708, respectively. Calibration curves also showed great prediction accuracy. In comparison with 8th AJCC staging system, improved net benefits in decision curve analyses (DCA) and evaluated integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were obtained. The risk stratification system can significantly distinguish the ones with different survival risk. We implemented the nomogram in a user-friendly webserver.

conclusionsWe built a novel nomogram and risk stratification system integrating clinicopathological characteristics and surgical procedure for resectable SCLC. The model showed superior prediction ability for resectable SCLC.
