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

backgroundOsteosarcoma is one of the most common malignant bone tumors, with a high incidence in adolescence. The objective of this study was to construct prognostic nomograms for predicting the prognosis of juvenile osteosarcoma.

methodsPatients with osteosarcoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The essential clinical predictors were identified with univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. Nomograms were constructed to predict the 3- and 5-year cancer- specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots were performed to validate the predictive performance of nomograms.

resultsWe enrolled 736 adolescents with osteosarcoma from the SEER database, with 516 samples grouped into a training cohort and 220 samples grouped into a validation cohort. In multivariate analysis of the training cohort, predictors including tumor size, surgery treatment and AJCC stage were found to be associated with OS and CSS, while age was only associated with CSS. Construction of nomograms based on these predictors was performed to evaluate the prognosis of adolescents with osteosarcoma. The C-index and calibration curves also showed the satisfactory performance of these nomograms for prognosis prediction.

conclusionThe developed nomograms are useful tools for precisely predicting the prognosis of adolescents with osteosarcoma, which could enable patients to be more accurately managed in clinical practice.
