Competing-Risks Model for Predicting the Postoperative Prognosis of Patients with Papillary Thyroid Adenocarcinoma Based on The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Database.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 identify accurate prognostic factors for postoperative papillary thyroid adenocarcinoma (PTAC) using a competing-risks model based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data on patients with PTAC who had received surgery between 2010 and 2015 in the SEER database were extracted. A univariate analysis was performed while considering competing risks using the cumulative incidence function, with Nelson-Aalen cumulative risk curves of the incidence function for PTAC-specific death were calculated and then compared between 2 groups using Gray's test. To identify the factors that affect the cumulative incidence of PTAC-specific death, a multivariate analysis using the Fine-Gray model was performed. RESULTS The 8324 eligible surgical PTAC patients included 101 patients who died from PTAC and 129 patients who died from other causes. The univariate Gray's test revealed that the cumulative incidence rate for events of interest was significantly affected (P<0.05) by age, sex, marital status, metastasis, differentiation grade, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, radiation status, chemotherapy status, regional lymph nodes removal, and tumor size. Multivariate competing-risks analyses showed that age, sex, metastasis, differentiation grade, radiation status, chemotherapy status, and tumor size were independent risk factors for the postoperative prognosis of PTAC patients (P<0.05). The results of multivariate Cox regression were different, with marital status also appearing as an independent risk factor. CONCLUSIONS This study established a competing-risks analysis model to evaluate the risk factors of surgical PTAC patients. Our findings may be useful for improving patient prognoses and decision-making when providing individualized treatments.
