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

backgroundThe risk of recurrence in localised, primary gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) classified as high-risk after complete resection varies significantly. Thus, we aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the recurrence of high-risk GIST after surgery to aid patient selection.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients (n = 424) with high-risk GIST who underwent curative resection as the initial treatment at two high-volume medical centres, between January 2005 and September 2019. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was utilised to select potentially relevant features. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to develop a novel nomogram.

findingsThe nomogram comprised age, fibrinogen levels, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mitotic counts and tumour size, which provided favourable calibration and discrimination in the training dataset with an AUC of 0•749 and a C-index of 0•742 (95%CI:0•689-0•804). Further, it showed acceptable discrimination in the validation cohort, with an AUC of 0•778 and C-index of 0•735 (95%CI:0•634-0•846). The time-dependant receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves performed well throughout the observation period. Additionally, the nomogram could classify high-risk GISTs into 'very high-risk' and 'general high-risk' groups with a hazard ratio (HR) of 5•190 (95%CI: 3•202-8•414) and 5•438 (95%CI: 2•236-13•229) for the training and validation datasets, respectively.

interpretationThe nomogram independently predicted post-operative recurrence-free survival (RFS) in high-risk GIST and showed favourable discrimination and calibration values. It may be a useful clinical tool for identifying 'very high-risk' GIST, by allowing treatment strategy optimisation in these patients.
